Malcolm Starkey (born 25 January 1936) is an English former professional footballer.
Starkey began his career at Blackpool as an inside forward,[1] making three appearances before a move to Shrewsbury Town led to him playing regularly in attack alongside the prolific Arthur Rowley.
[1] In April 1963, Starkey dropped into Football League Division Four with Chester, where he would soon be converted into a full back by new manager Peter Hauser.
[1] His spell at Chester would see him not miss a league game in 1964–65[1] but his career was to finish prematurely early in the 1966–67 season when he suffered a serious illness.
[1] He was rewarded for his loyalty with a testimonial match between Shrewsbury and Aston Villa in May 2002.
