Alfred Henry Strange (2 April 1900 – 3 October 1978) was an English footballer who played most of his career as a half back with Sheffield Wednesday.
[2] He started his career with Portsmouth as a centre-forward, and in his two seasons there, he scored 16 goals from 24 league appearances, helping them to win the Third Division South title in 1923–24.
Frustrated at the lack of regular first-team opportunities at Fratton Park, Strange moved to Second Division club Port Vale for a £500 fee on 29 October 1924.
[1] On 18 February 1927, he was transferred to Sheffield Wednesday, with Harry Anstiss and "a substantial financial consideration" moving in the opposite direction.
[5] He missed out on all but one game of the 1934–35 season and was unable to play in any of Wednesday's matches in the FA Cup when they went on to win the final against West Bromwich Albion 4–2.
Following World War II, Strange was appointed manager of Southern League side Bedford Town in April 1945, a position he held until resigning in January 1947.
[8] Strange was selected to represent the Football League three times before receiving his first England cap for the match against Scotland on 5 April 1930.
He played at right half as England won 5–2, with Vic Watson and Strange's Wednesday teammate Ellis Rimmer each scoring twice.
