Alfred Obrey (3 June 1912 – 26 November 1986) was an English former footballer.
Obrey played for Longton before joining Port Vale as an amateur in May 1936, signing as a professional in October of that year.[1] He made his debut in October 1936 and his first game was the first of a thirteen-game unbeaten run for the club, the first nine of which Obrey helped prevent the opposing centre-forwards from scoring any goals.[1] He scored his first senior goal against York City on 13 February 1937, in a 2–1 victory at Bootham Crescent.[1] He finished the 1936–37 season with 33 appearances to his name.[1] He lost his first-team place in December 1937, and was limited to 16 Third Division North appearances in 1937–38.[1] He was transferred to Tranmere Rovers in June 1938, who were relegated out of the Second Division in 1938–39.[1] Obrey returned to Port Vale as a guest in September 1939, but left on the conclusion of the 1939–40 season as the club went into abeyance due to the war.[1]
