Henry "Harry" Bradshaw (* 2nd quarter 1853 in Burnley , England , † September 1924 in Wandsworth , London ) was an English football coach and official.

Although Bradshaw himself had never played professional football, he took over the position of managing director at Burnley FC in 1891 , before he became president of the club two years later. In 1896 he was then coach of the team, but rose in his first season as the person in charge as bottom of the table from the First Division, after you could not convince in the relegation games ( test matches ). Already in the following season he was promoted again and then took third place in the first division.

In 1899 Bradshaw moved to Woolwich Arsenal , as Arsenal FC was called at the time. With the second division, he initially reached the top positions, but the rise was not achieved until 1904. However, he left the club in the same year to join Fulham FC .

Bradshaw became the first full-time coach in Fulham FC history. He led the club in 1907 from the Southern League to the Football League Second Division . There they finished 14th in the first season and reached the semi-finals in the FA Cup . Started as a promotion favorite in the following season, they ended up in 10th place and Bradshaw's expiring contract was not extended.

Bradshaw then moved to the Southern League as managing director. He held this post until 1921 when he retired.

Bradshaw's son Joe played under his father at Arsenal and later became a coach at Fulham FC himself.
