Who is Joe Bradshaw? The Liverpool wonderkid who just signed first deal
Bradshaw is quite tall for his age, and has always been a more developed play. In fact he made his debut almost two years ago for the U18s when he was just 15 years and three months old. This makes him the fourth youngest Liverpool U18 player in the U18 Premier League. He's also the fifth youngest player to play for the Reds in the UEFA Youth League at just 16 years and fourth months old, beating Harvey Elliott, who was 16 years and five months old when he made his debut. Bradshaw is a wide player, he's comfortable with both feet and can play on the left and the right. One of his most impressive qualities are his technical skills. Bradshaw has a really good ball striking technique and he can find the back of the net from inside and outside the penalty area. He averages a 25.6% goal conversion rate for Liverpool's U18 side so far in his career as per Wyscout. He's also capable of scoring from set-pieces. This makes him a dangerous player anywhere in the final third. His production backs this up as well, Bradshaw has averaged 0.80 goal contributions per 90 minutes in his U18 Premier League career so far - this in a struggling side that finished second from bottom in the league is very impressive. His technical qualities also translate to Bradshaw's one vs one quality. He's very effective in tight spaces and can get out of tricky situations even when he's surrounded by multiple defenders. Again the numbers back this up. He's averaging 4.12 dribblers per 90 minutes and he completes 62% of his dribble attempts. These are impressive statistics. For a winger a dribble success rate of around 60% and over, with the same kind of volume of attempts as Bradshaw, is a really solid return. Bradshaw is quick, too. He can run in behind defences and he will chase down loose balls. He brings a lot of energy to the team whenever he plays and this is something that will be appreciated by Arne Slot at first team level, too. In terms of improvement, Bradshaw already has a lot of the base qualities you need for a top level winger. What can give him the best chances of succeeding at senior level is if he works on his explosiveness on the ball. Bradshaw is fast but he's not been able to demonstrate his explosiveness when running with the ball. His technical ability means he doesn't always need to run at high speeds. He can draw defenders in and he's able to get around them with clever feints and body movements. However, at a higher level, he needs to add that extra bit of speed on the ball to make him succeed in the modern game, where he will need the extra speed on the ball to get around his opponents. He's got the ability in his locker and now it's just up to the club's U21 coach Page and Bradshaw himself to bring that out of him as well.

Terry Bradshaw showed no mercy—fired his own uncle, proving even family isn't safe when values are at stake
Terry Bradshaw chose values over family—fired his own uncle (Image via: Getty Images) NFL legend Terry Bradshaw is no stranger to pressure. From four Super Bowl rings to national TV fame, he's lived in the spotlight for decades. But his toughest call didn't happen on the football field, it happened in his personal life. And it proved that for Bradshaw, principles always outweigh popularity, even when family's involved. Why Terry Bradshaw chose character over talent, including in family matters On the To The Point – Home Services Podcast, Bradshaw gave fans a rare look into the leadership style that's shaped both his NFL legacy and his post-football ventures, especially Bradshaw Quarter Horses, his thriving horse breeding business. When asked how he handles high performers who resist structure, Bradshaw didn't sugarcoat it: 'If I have to tell you more than twice to do something, you're gone.' He credits former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson for his 'results over process' mindset. If you're a superstar and delivering, you get more leeway. But once character fails, no amount of talent can save your seat. That approach led Bradshaw to fire only three people in his entire career—one for stealing, one for toxicity, and one that shook him to the core: his own uncle. 4x Superbowl Champ Terry Bradshaw Talks Champion Caliber Contractors Terry Bradshaw firing his uncle could be the toughest call of his life In perhaps his most jarring admission, Bradshaw revealed that his very first firing wasn't a teammate or employee—it was a close family member. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals 'My uncle.

Bradshaw didn't elaborate on the exact reasons, but his takeaway was clear—no exceptions, no free passes. In his eyes, integrity must come first. His wife Tammy Bradshaw now handles most staffing issues, but the family's philosophy remains grounded in one non-negotiable rule: character is king. FAQs: Why did Terry Bradshaw fire his own uncle? Terry Bradshaw didn't reveal specific details, but he emphasized that character and values take precedence over personal relationships in business decisions, even when it comes to family. How many people has Terry Bradshaw fired in his career? Bradshaw revealed he has only fired three people: his uncle, a long-time employee who was stealing, and a toxic coworker who mistreated others. What is Terry Bradshaw's leadership philosophy? Bradshaw believes in results-driven leadership, inspired by coach Jimmy Johnson. However, he draws a hard line at poor character, regardless of talent or tenure. Why Bradshaw's leadership still resonates Terry Bradshaw's story is a masterclass in leadership, integrity, and unshakable standards. In an age where talent often excuses bad behavior, Bradshaw stands firm: 'If they are not a good person, I don't care how much money they're making. I can't handle that.'

Terry Bradshaw contract: NFL on Fox broadcaster talks Tom Brady deal
He would be 80 years old, a number the 76 year old is targeting to wrap up his broadcasting career. Bradshaw was one of the original members for the NFL on Fox crew that launched in 1994 and he discussed his current employers during an appearance on the "To the Point - Home Services Podcast," which is a show dedicated to "marketing and operational solutions to help your service company grow." "Did you see the numbers they did?" Bradshaw asked the audience, in reference to the Super Bowl viewership numbers. "The largest Super Bowl in history. 126 million people. There's 330 million people in America. That is a ton. The Fox pregame show averaged 28 million for five hours. Who in the world is gonna sit around and watch that mess for five hours? 28 million." The former Steeler pointed out those numbers translated to some big money. "You know how much money they made? God. More money than plumbers, I can assure you that. 28 million. And I guarantee you, if I go in there and ask for a raise, 'Well, we don't have any ... we're running a little tight.' Well, you just paid Tom Brady $37 million a year. I'll take it. I did some bad deals, that's what it was." Bradshaw also spoke about his early career in football, comparing the contracts to today's game. Despite being the No. 1 pick in the 1970 NFL Draft, Bradshaw noted that he made $25,000 in his first season with the Steelers and worked as a used car salesman during the offseason. Cam Ward, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, signed a contract worth $48.8 million with the Tennessee Titans. His contract carries an average value of $12.2 million -- an indication of how much things have changed in the last 55 years. Players aren't the only ones who have seen their value explode over the years. Broadcasters such as Brady have seen their salaries increase exponentially as well. It's unclear what Bradshaw's salary is, but Brady has a sizable lead on ESPN's Troy Aikman, who checks in at $18 million a year, and NBC's Cris Collinsworth, who makes around $12.5 million a year. Brady was often criticized for his performance in the broadcast booth last season, especially when considering the contract Fox awarded him. The common belief is that no one is tuning into a broadcast to listen to a specific announcer, but companies believe there is value in paying for what they see as the best. Now that it's out there, time will tell if Bradshaw's remarks have any impact on his bottom line. All the NFL news on and off the field. Sign up for USA TODAY's 4th and Monday newsletter.

Since FOX had the pleasure of being the broadcast home for the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, Bradshaw made a little comment about how much money FOX made from reeling in millions of spectators for the Super Bowl. While doing so, he couldn't help but poke fun at the massive 10-year, $375 million contract Brady got from his new employer. '[I]f I go in there and ask for a raise, 'Well, we don't have any . . . we're running a little tight.' Well, you just paid Tom Brady $37 million a year. I'll take it. I did some bad deals, that's what it was.'' Terry Bradshaw on FOX partner Tom Brady Brady may have just one year of experience, and while there were some awkward moments during his first season on the job, he'll have the next nine years to round into form.

Terry Bradshaw discusses Tom Brady, NFL on Fox contract: 'I did some bad deals'
Terry Bradshaw isn't afraid to talk about the dollars and cents when it comes to his profession. The four-time Super Bowl champion and Hall of Fame quarterback has remained involved with the game following his 14 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers — becoming a familiar face for the NFL on Fox.
