Harry Arthur Yeomans (11 April 1901 – 25 February 1965) was an English footballer who played as goalkeeper for Southampton in the mid-1920s.
Yeomans was born in Farnborough and played as an amateur for Camberley & Yorktown, also representing the Hampshire F.A.,[1] before joining Southampton in December 1922. At, Yeomans was the tallest goalkeeper to have played for the "Saints" (along with George Ephgrave).[1] Known as "Tiny", Yeomans was signed as understudy to Tommy Allen and consequently never enjoyed a lengthy run in the first team, making four appearances in April 1925[2] and eight in the following September/October.[3]
In 1926, Yeomans decided to abandon his footballing career and joined the local Police force, for whom he played in the local football leagues.[1]
