Arthur Edwin Griffiths (1885 – 1944) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Oldham Athletic and Stoke.[1]
Griffiths was born in Stoke-upon-Trent and joined Stoke from Hartshill in 1904.[1] He made his debut for Stoke at the age of 20 and scored his first goal against Everton on 3 April 1906.[1] When Stoke went out of the Football League at the end of the 1907–08 season due to heavy financial problems Griffiths left and signed for Second Division side Oldham Athletic.[1] After scoring just four goals for the "Latics" in 1908–09 he returned to Stoke and in 1909–10 he had a prolific season in front of goal scoring 38 goals in all competitions.[1] He could not maintain his run in front of goal however and in the next two seasons he scored 13 goals. He left in 1913 to play for Welsh side Wrexham.[1]
