Thomas "Tommy" Spurr (born 30 September 1987) is an English footballer currently playing as a defender for Sheffield Wednesday.

Spurr, born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, joined Sheffield Wednesday full time in 2004 and in his first season established himself in the reserves and won a place on the bench for the first team. He was named Academy player of the year in the 2004–05 season and made his first team debut against Reading on 22 April 2006. He was awarded Sponsor's Man of the Match for his performance in the game.

The 2006–07 season saw Spurr hold down a regular place in the starting eleven at left back ahead of the more experienced Peter Gilbert and John Hills. In December 2006, Spurr was given a new two and a half year contract which took his contract up until the summer of 2009.

Spurr scored his first goal for Sheffield Wednesday against Charlton Athleic on 25 August 2007 in a 3–2 defeat. He scored his second career goal and first Hillsborough goal on 14 April 2008 against Plymouth Argyle. It proved to be the equaliser in what was a crunch game for Sheffield Wednesday and was voted Sky Sports Championship Goal of the Season.^{[citation needed]}

In December 2007 Championship rivals Queens Park Rangers made an offer for Spurr, it was turned down however as he was described as a 'top asset in the playing squad.'^[1] Later in the month Queens Park Rangers made an improved offer rumored to be £750,000 which was also rejected by Sheffield Wednesday.

Spurr scored his third goal for Sheffield Wednesday against Watford in a 2–0 win at Hillsborough on 13 September 2008. Despite playing at centre back for the game due to an injury sustained by Mark Beevers, Spurr found himself 50 yards out on the left wing and played a give and go with Etienne Esajas, before sliding the ball right footed past Mart Poom from 8 yards.

Tommy scored another eye catching goal against Fulham in the FA Cup 3rd Round on Saturday the 3 January 2009, when he collected a square ball from James O'Connor to score from 30 yards.

During the 7 February 2009 Steel City derby Spurr scored his 4th goal for the club from a Michael Gray cross after just 30 seconds of the game had gone.

Spurr was handed the teams captaincy in the game on 21 February against Neil Warnock's Crystal Palace, in the absence of team captain Richard Wood. The Owls won 2-0.

On the 10th of September 2009 Tommy Spurr signed a new four year contract which was taken up till 2012
