Kenneth Gordon Faulkner (10 September 1923 – 2000) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham City.[2]
Faulkner was born in Smethwick, Staffordshire. Capped by England at schoolboy level, he had a successful trial with Birmingham City during the Second World War.[3] Faulkner, a forward, played for Birmingham in the 1944–45 season of wartime competition,[4] and also made guest appearances for Coventry City and Port Vale.[5] He made his debut in the penultimate game of the 1946–47 Second Division season, playing at outside right in a 2–0 win at Millwall. The last game of that season proved to be his last for the club;[6] he was released in the 1947 close season and joined Oldbury United.[3]
