Albert "Arthur" Hartshorne (December 1880 – 10 February 1915) [1] was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Burslem Port Vale and Stoke, and in the Southern League for Northampton Town and Southampton. [2]
Hartshorne played for Moxley White Star and Wolverhampton Wanderers before joining Port Vale in June 1902. He was a regular throughout the 1902–03 season, scoring three goals in 28 Second Division appearances. He was sold to local rivals Stoke in April 1903 to ease Vale's financial troubles. [3] At the Victoria Ground, Hartshorne played as a regular in the 1903–04 and 1904–05 campaigns, and was fast becoming a popular player with the supporters due to his 'hard yet controlled' tackling skill. [2] He made 53 First Division appearances for the "Potters". It was a disappointment when he was sold to Southampton in the summer of 1905. [2] He helped the "Saints" to claim a second-place finish in the Southern League in 1905–06 and was an ever-present in their run to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. [4] He later played for Southern League rivals Northampton Town.
Hartshorne became a tool-maker after the end of his football career. [1] At the outbreak of the First World War, he enlisted in the Staffordshire Regiment. He died of wounds on 10 February 1915 and was buried at Boulogne Eastern Cemetery. [1] [5]
Hartshorne was a "well-built" and pacey left-back who boasted good ball-control skills. [4]
