Frank Green (born 1905) was an English footballer who played as a centre forward for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Barnsley and South Kirkby.[2]
Green began his football career at Blyth Spartans[3] before moving to Frickley Colliery, where after just three weeks[3] and scoring eight goals in two Midland League games he was bought by Wolverhampton Wanderers for £500, a then record for Frickley.[4] At Wolves Green scored on his debut[5] against Notts County[6] but after three seasons he joined Peterborough United,[1] then Crewe Alexandra, where he spent two seasons.[4] Next he moved to France to join Calais, before returning to England after one season.[4] Towards the end of his playing career he moved to Northwich Victoria, where he spent almost three seasons, before moving to South Kirkby as player-coach in September 1938.[4]
Frank Green was the brother of John Pirt Green, a footballer for Blyth Spartans who had also had trials with Wolves.[7]
