Ernest William Perry (3 November 1891 – 31 May 1979) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Port Vale and Crewe Alexandra between 1919 and 1924; he was also signed to Stoke and Bradford City.
Playing career
Perry played for Stoke before joining Port Vale in August 1919.[1] He played 26 Second Division games in the 1919–20 season, and scored his first goal in the Football League on 1 January, in a 4–3 defeat to Fulham at The Old Recreation Ground.[1] He was also in the sides that won the Staffordshire Cup and shared the North Staffordshire Infirmary Cup in 1920.[1] He fell out of favour somewhat during the 1920–21 season, playing 18 league games (with one goal), and is believed to have been released at the end of that campaign.[1] In 1921, he moved to First Division side Bradford City, but never played a game,[2] and instead joined Crewe Alexandra.[1] He played 62 Third Division North games for the "Railwaymen", who finished in sixth place in 1921–22 and 1922–23, before a decline at Gresty Road saw them drop to 20th place in 1923–24.
