Wilfred Grant (3 August 1920 – 17 July 1990)[1] was an English professional footballer who played as a forward for Southampton, Cardiff City and Ipswich Town.
After a rather frustrating time, he joined Cardiff City in March 1950 with Ernie Stevenson coming to the south coast in exchange.
[3] Shortly after Cardiff secured their place in the top flight, Grant's superb form earned him a call up to the England 'B' team for a match against their French equivalents on 22 May 1952.
In 1955–56 Grant contributed 16 goals (including two hat-tricks against Millwall[4]) as Town finished in third place, missing promotion by one point.
He then spent some time as a scout for Bristol Rovers before being appointed as manager at Southern League Premier Division Worcester City in December 1971.
His final managerial position was at Bromsgrove Rovers (of the Southern League Division One North) who he joined in December 1974, but was sacked nine months later.
