Thomas Herbert McIntosh (24 February 1879 – 29 October 1935) was secretary manager ofDarlington,Middlesbrough andEverton.
He played for Darlington before becoming secretary manager in 1902. He moved toMiddlesbrough nine years later where new chairmanPhilip Bach was charged with rebuilding the club following the match-fixing scandal involving the previous chairman Thomas Gibson-Poole and managerAndy Walker. He helped the club achieve their highest ever league position - third in the first division - but with a potential championship team taking shape his plans were interrupted by the outbreak ofWorld War I. During the war, Boro released their players and closed down, whileAyresome Park was used as a munitions store.
McIntosh joined the Teesside Pioneers, a battalion of Alexandra,The Princess of Wales's Own (Yorkshire Regiment), formed in Middlesbrough in December 1914. He saw active service in France as a sergeant. Was commissioned and became 2nd Lieutenant 29 January 1917. When the war ended he guided Boro to the Northern Victory League title and prepared the club for a return to normality. In December 1919, however, an offer came in for his services fromEverton and he left with the blessing of the Boro board.
At Everton he was most famous for spotting and signingDixie Dean. Under McIntosh's guidance Everton won theFA Cup and twice won theFootball League Championship. He died from cancer in October 1935, and was eventually replaced as secretary manager at Everton byTheo Kelly.
