He won major domestic honours with Wolverhampton Wanderers, and appeared in the 1958 World Cup. Broadbent began his professional career at Brentford in 1950, but spent less than a year with the club before joining Wolverhampton Wanderers in February 1951 for £10,000. Broadbent became the fulcrum of Wolves midfield becoming the master of ball control which left defenders perplexed and precise passing. In 1952/53 Wolves came 2nd in the league with Broadbent making his name alongside Eddie Clamp, Ron Flowers and Bill Slater. In 1953/54 Broadbent played a larger role as Wolves won the title which had eluded them, a season later Broadbent was the playmaker again as Wolves came 2nd. His consistency was maintained again in 1955/1956 as Wolves came 3rd by this time Broadbent had become more prolific and had earned an England spotlight, scoring 19 goals in 1956/1957 and 21 in 1957/1958. He was part of the Wolves team that carried off the title in 1957/1958 and 1958/1959 forming a creditable partnership with Jimmy Murray. In 1959/1960 he was again part of the side who won the 1960 FA Cup and narrowly missing the title. The midfielder remained with Wolves until 1965, making 497 appearances in total and scoring 145 goals. During this time, he won three league championships (1953/54, 1957/58, 1958/59) and one FA Cup (1960) with the club. He scored the club's first ever goal in European competition when he netted against Schalke in a European Cup tie in November 1958. He represented England seven times, scoring twice (a double against Wales), after making his debut in the 1958 World Cup against the USSR. He finally left Molineux in January 1965 to join Shrewsbury Town for a short spell, before moving to Aston Villa where he played for three years. After a season with Stockport County, he ended his playing career with non- league Bromsgrove Rovers in 1971 before running a babywear business in Halesowen. In his autobiography, George Best said he was a Wolves fan and that Broadbent was the player he most admired.
