Wilbert Harrison
Edit ProfileCareer
He played football for Birmingham Excelsior before joining Birmingham Street George"s in 1886. He became the star of their attack, and played for them in the Football Alliance, but was one of several players offloaded when the club got into financial difficulties and joined local rivals and fellow Football Alliance club Small Heath in August 1891. He played only once for Small Heath"s first team, scoring both goals in a 2–2 draw at Ardwick in January 1892, but his career was in decline, and later that year he returned to local football with Summerfield Saints.
