Frank Ward (footballer)
Frank Ward (21 January 1902 – 28 April 1974) was an English footballer who played as a full-back for various clubs in the 1920s and 1930s, spending most of his career with Preston North End.
Football career
Ward was born in Leigh, Lancashire, before moving to the north of Manchester, where he played his youth football with Walshaw United. From here he made the short move to join Football League Second Division club Bury in October 1923.
Generally playing at left-half, Ward made 19 appearances in the 1923–24 season, at the end of which Bury finished as runners-up, thus gaining promotion to the First Division. Following their promotion, Bury signed Bill Turner from Southampton in April 1924, with Stan Woodhouse and John Callagher moving to the south coast as part of the deal. With Turner ever-present in 1924–25, Ward spent the entire season in the reserves, but injury to Turner allowed Ward to return in the 1925–26 season, making ten appearances. Bury finished the season fourth in the league table, which remains their highest-ever league finish.
