Alfred James Wheeler (born 1910)[1] was an English professional footballer who played as a forward for various clubs in the Football League in the 1930s.

Football career

Wheeler was born in Bilston, near Wolverhampton[1] and started his professional career with Walsall in the Football League Third Division North, for whom he scored three goals in eleven league appearances.[2] After a spell in the Cheshire County League with Mossley, Wheeler joined Brentford, before joining Northampton Town for the 1933–34 season, in which he made five appearances, scoring once.[2]

In July 1934, he joined Southampton of the Second Division,[1] making his debut playing at inside-left at home to Port Vale on 27 August. He was in and out of the side for most of the season, with Arthur Holt the preferred inside-left. In November 1934, Wheeler played three matches at centre-forward in place of Norman Cole, scoring an "outstanding" hat-trick in the first 27 minutes of a 4–1 victory over Bradford City.[3] A lack of consistency led to him being dropped in favour of new signing, Walter Pollard, and Wheeler was transfer listed at the end of the season.[1]

In August 1935, he joined Barnsley for a fee of £100,[1] and in October he moved on to Norwich City,[1] but he never played first-team football for either club.[2] In the summer of 1936, he joined his final league club, Gillingham, making a further eight league appearances, scoring three goals.[2]
