Frank Mobley (21 November 1868 – 9 February 1956) was an English professional footballer who played as a centre forward. He played in the Football League for Small Heath and Bury.[1]
For Small Heath, Mobley scored 64 goals in 103 appearances in all competitions,[2] and was leading scorer in three successive seasons, from 1893–94when he was also overall top scorer in the Second Division[3] to 1895–96.[4] In a 1950 interview, he told the Sports Argus that he "could have got a few more if [he'd] been as selfish as some of the present-day forwards who seem to want to do all the scoring."[5]
The 1939 Register lists Mobley as living in retirement with his son, also named Frank, and his family in the Five Ways district of Birmingham.[6] Mobley died in Birmingham in 1956 at the age of 87.[7] [8]
