Eric Hampson (born 11 November 1921) is an English former footballer who played in the Football League for Stoke City.[1]
Hampson was born in Stoke-on-Trent. He joined Stoke City from local feeder club Summerbank during World War II.[1] He joined the Army in 1944 and returned to Stoke in 1948 where he made just eight appearances in four seasons before leaving for non-league Stafford Rangers.[1]
