William Harold Ingham (1882 – after 1915) was a footballer who played in the Football League for Bristol City and Gainsborough Trinity, and the Southern League for West Ham United, Plymouth Argyle and Norwich City.[1][2] He was a centre forward.[2]

Life and career

Ingham began his career with Aberdare Athletic before joining West Ham United in 1903.[1][3] He made two league appearances in one season with the club and then returned to Aberdare.[1][4] In April 1905, Ingham played for Aberdare in the Welsh Cup final against Wrexham.[5] He was signed by Bristol City later that year, where he played in one league game.[2] In 1906, he joined Gainsborough Trinity and scored seven goals in 28 league appearances for the club.[2] Having moved to Plymouth Argyle the following year, Ingham was the club's top goalscorer in his first season.[1] He made 80 appearances for Argyle in all competitions and scored 20 goals before joining Accrington Stanley in 1909.[1]

He went on to play for Norwich City and was twice selected to play for the Southern League representative side.[1][2] Together with Norwich team-mate Percy Sutcliffe, Ingham signed professional forms with North-Eastern League club Darlington in 1914.[6] He scored 18 goals in league competition in the 1914–15 season and scored once from five appearances in the FA Cup.[7] Competitive football was suspended in 1915 due to the First World War and there is no record of Ingham resuming his career after the conflict.[1]
