Edward Elijah Salway (1891–1950) was an English professional footballer who played in various midfield roles for Southampton in the Southern League in 1912–13.
[1] Described as "a rough diamond with plenty of potential, ... pace and inexhaustible energy", he spent his first year at The Dell in the reserves where he was "polished into a fine half-back", gaining representative honours with the Hampshire F.A.
[1] His first-team debut came on 5 October 1912, when he took the place of Jim McAlpine at left-half for the Southern League match at Exeter City.
Of Salway's ten first-team matches, eight ended in defeats, with two victories, as the "Saints" struggled to find any consistency under new manager Jimmy McIntyre, finishing fourth from the foot of the table.
[1] Salway later found employment at Southampton Docks, working as a flagman, cycling there every day from his home at Nursling, approximately five miles each way.
