Herbert Harold Powell (23 November 1885 – 28 September 1957) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Chesterfield Town, Barnsley and Birmingham.[1][2] He played as a forward.
Career[edit]
Powell was born in Maidstone, Kent. He was on the books of Nottingham Forest, though never played for the league side,[1] and played for Gresley Rovers and Grantham Avenue before making his first appearance in the Football League, for Chesterfield Town in the Second Division in the 1906–07 season.[3] A few months later he appeared for Barnsley, also in the Second Division, then spent time at Carlisle United, New Brompton and Coventry City,[4][5] surfacing for a third time in the Second Division with Birmingham in 1910.[1] He scored on his Birmingham debut,[6] but soon left for a tour of senior non-league football either side of the First World War,[7] finishing off his career with Sutton Town in 1923.[1]
