Lawrence Scott (23 April 1917 – 18 July 1999) was an English footballer who played as a full back for Bradford City, Arsenal and Crystal Palace either side of World War II.
Born in Sheffield, Scott joined Bradford City as a youth player, and played 39 times for the club, mostly as a winger.
At the start of World War II, Scott joined the Royal Air Force as a PT instructor, but still guested as a player for the RAF, Arsenal, Sheffield United,[3] and England in wartime matches.
Arsenal won the First Division title in 1947–48, but after that Scott was blighted by injury; he was stricken with a bout of appendicitis in 1948, and then injured his knee whilst playing in an international for England against Wales on 10 November 1948.
In 1950–51 Scott played 17 matches for Arsenal, but with his injury often recurring, he was no longer an automatic first-team choice, sharing the right-back position with Walley Barnes.
