Thomas Roberts was a professional footballer who played 120 games in The Football League as an inside forward and wing half for Bristol Rovers between 1925 and 1930.
Roberts was born in Bristol in the early 20th century and started his footballing career in the Bristol and Suburban Association Football League. He joined Trowbridge Town from Bedminster Victoria in 1924, and after playing just ten League games for Trowbridge he took part in a trial with Football League club Bristol Rovers. The trial was a successful one, and he signed for Rovers on 11 March 1925. He went on to play 120 times in the League, scoring six times, before joining Welsh club Lovells Athletic in 1930.
Following the end of his playing days he emigrated to Canada.
