Samuel Sharp (1896 – 1936)[1] was a footballer who played as a wing half in the 1920s and 1930s, most notably with Manchester City.
[3] Born in Ardwick, Manchester,[1] Sharp first played for Manchester City in wartime competition in 1918,[4] before a short spell with Bolton Wanderers, although he did not play a Football League game for them.
He remained a regular in the team until the 1925–26 season, when he lost his place to Baggy Coupland.
It was during this period in the team that he scored his only goal, in an FA Cup tie against Brighton & Hove Albion on 23 February 1924.
After losing his regular place in the side he continued to make sporadic appearances over the next few seasons, with his final City game coming on 25 April 1928 against Leeds United, in a 1–0 win which clinched the Football League Second Division title for City.
