Thomas Herbert Andrew Mason (born 20 February 1953) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder in the Football League for Brighton & Hove Albion.[1]

Life and career[edit]

Mason was born in 1953 in Buxton, Derbyshire.[1] He began his football career with Derby County as a youngster, and turned professional in 1972. He never broke through to the league team,[1] and signed for Brighton & Hove Albion in 1974. He made 28 appearances in his first season with the club, and was released at the end of his second.[2] He moved into non-league football with Isthmian League clubs Horsham and – after a trial with Portsmouth came to nothing – Carshalton Athletic.[2][3]
