Harry Baven Penton (1890–1967) was an English professional footballer who played as a centre-forward for Southampton and Boscombe prior to the First World War.
He retained his place until the end of the season, although he failed to live up to expectations with only three goals from twelve appearances.
For the following season, the "Saints" signed Henry Hamilton and Penton only made one appearance, playing at inside-right in place of Archie Small on 16 September.
[2] He returned to Boscombe in January 1912 for a fee of £10 and became their first ever professional player on a wage of 30 shillings (£1.50) per week.
He once again returned across the New Forest to Boscombe, but in 1914 he joined Eastleigh Athletic where he remained until 1928, now playing as goalkeeper rather than centre-forward.
