John Hampson (28 December 1887 – December 1960) was a Welsh footballer who played for Oswestry Town, Northampton Town, Leeds City, Aston Villa, and Port Vale.
Playing career[]
Hampson played for Oswestry Town, Northampton Town, Leeds City and Aston Villa, before joining Port Vale for a £1,000 fee in June 1921.[1] He went straight into the first team, and scored in his first game at The Old Recreation Ground, in a 3–0 victory over Clapton Orient on 29 August.[1] He also claimed goals in home victories over West Ham United and Bury and posted 30 Second Division appearances in the 1921–22 season, and was also a member of the side that shared the North Staffordshire Infirmary Cup in 1922.[1] He scored four goals in 39 league and cup games in the 1922–23 campaign, finding the net in a 2–1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford (7 October), in a 2–0 win over Stockport County at Edgeley Park (9 December), in a 2–1 home defeat by Leeds United (30 December), and in a 2–2 draw at home to The Wednesday (5 May).[1] He bagged two goals in 33 appearances in the 1923–24 season, scoring in home games against Barnsley and South Shields, but sustained a serious injury in April which required a number of operations.[1] He left the club in the summer and later played for Hanley Social Club.[1]
