Albert Victor Pearson (6 September 1892 – 24 January 1975) was an English footballer who played as a forward for Sheffield United, Port Vale, Liverpool, Llanelli, Rochdale, Stockport County and Ashton National Gas. His son-in-law, George Heppell, and great-great-grandson, Tom Conlon, also played for Port Vale.
Pearson played for Hebburn Argyle and Sheffield United before joining Port Vale in the summer of 1914. [1] He was a first-team regular during the war years and was a member of the side that won the North Staffordshire Infirmary Cup in 1915. [1] The club went into abeyance due to war concerns during the 1915–16 and 1916–17 seasons, but he continued his first-team duties at The Old Recreation Ground upon the club's re-forming. [1] He was sold to First Division side Liverpool in January 1919; however, Sheffield received some of the fee as they claimed he was still on their books, despite him leaving them five years previous. [1] He missed only nine games in his second season for the "Reds", but fell out of favour at Anfield the next season. [3] He went back to Port Vale in May 1921. He regained his first-team place and played 19 Second Division games before he picked up an injury in February 1922 and was released at the end of the season. [1] He moved on to Llanelli, Rochdale, Stockport County and Ashton National Gas. [1]
His son-in-law, George Heppell, played for Port Vale between 1937 and 1952, whilst his great-great-grandson, Tom Conlon, joined the club in 2018. [4]
