Arthur Masters (17 August 1910 – 1998) was an English footballer who played as a forward for Horwich R.M.I., Nottingham Forest, and Port Vale in the 1930s.

Playing career[]

Masters played for Horwich R.M.I. and Nottingham Forest, before joining Port Vale in exchange for Allan Todd in June 1937.[1] He scored eight goals in 33 Third Division North and two FA Cup appearances in the 1937–38 season.[1] He was twice knocked out in a 1–1 draw with Crewe Alexandra at The Old Recreation Ground on 19 January; perhaps not surprisingly, he later said that he had no recollection of the game.[1] He then scored five goals in Third Division South 33 games in the 1938–39 season, before leaving the "Valiants".[1]
