Norman Arthur Wood (4 November 1890 – 28 July 1916) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Stockport County as an inside left.[1] His play was described as "unselfish, for with a crafty left foot he made openings and opportunities for colleagues".[2]
On 7 May 1906, Wood enlisted in the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons, but was discharged little over two months later, due to "having made a misstatement as to age on enlistment".[3] On 8 February 1915, six months after Britain's entry into the First World War, Wood enlisted in the Football Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment.[4] Despite being demoted to corporal for absenteeism in November 1915, Wood rose to the rank of sergeant.[5] He was killed at Delville Wood in July 1916 and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial.
