*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Edward S. Cameron (1895 – after 1933) was a Scottish professional footballer who made 139 appearances in the Football League playing for Birmingham, Walsall, Nelson and Exeter City. [2] He played as a forward.
Cameron was born in Glasgow. He began his football career with Clydebank before moving to England to sign for Birmingham in July 1921. Described as "a burly Scot ... never a great goalscorer, but a player who 'employed direct methods'", [3] Cameron made his debut in the First Division on 29 August 1921 in a 2–1 win away at Chelsea. He played five more times, scoring once, [4] but was allowed to leave for Walsall at the end of the 1921–22 season. [3] He played regularly for the club for a little less than two years, then moved up to Nelson of the Second Division in March 1922. [2] [3] Unable to prevent their relegation that season, he contributed to their immediate promotion back to the Second Division in 1924–25. [5]
In 1926 he joined Stafford Rangers, where his prolific goalscoring helped them to the championship of the Birmingham & District League in the 1926–27 season, [6] and helped him earn a return to the Football League with Exeter City. He scored nine goals from 24 Third Division South games – completing his set of all four Football League divisions played in [2] – before an unsuccessful trial at former club Nelson preceded a return to Stafford Rangers [3] and a runners-up medal in 1929–30. [6] He then won his second Birmingham & District League title, this time with Cradley Heath, [7] and scored goals for Hednesford Town, [8] before finishing off his career with yet another return to Stafford Rangers.
