Bradley Robert Sandeman (born 24 February 1970) is an English former footballer who is now assistant manager at Tunbridge Wells. He made 212 league appearances in a nine-year career in the Football League.
A versatile passer of the ball, he began his career at Northampton Town in 1988. He was sold on to Maidstone United for £10,000 in February 1991, before he was allowed to join Port Vale on a free transfer in July 1992. He helped the club to win promotion out of the Second Division in 1993–94, before he was given a free transfer to Rotherham United in May 1996. He moved on to Hereford United in March 1997, and later had spells with non-league clubs Northwich Victoria, Kettering Town, Worcester City, Newcastle Town, Maidstone United, and Tunbridge Wells.
Sandeman started his career at Northampton Town under the management of Graham Carr, as the "Cobblers" avoided relegation out of the Third Division in 1988–89 only due to their superior goal difference to Southend United. They failed to avoid the drop into the Fourth Division in 1989–90, which led to Carr being sacked and replaced by Theo Foley. Sandeman left the County Ground in February 1991, having been sold on to league rivals Maidstone United for a £10,000 fee; the move reunited him with former boss Graham Carr. The "Stones" finished in the lower half of the table in both 1990–91 and 1991–92. He left the club just months before its collapse.
