William Trevor Rhodes (10 November 1909 – 23 May 1993) was an English footballer who played 147 games for Port Vale between 1933 and 1938, having previously represented Yorkshire Amateur and Bradford Park Avenue. Able to play as a right-half or at inside-right, he was noted for his pace and shot power.
Rhodes played for Yorkshire Amateur and Bradford Park Avenue before joining Port Vale in June 1933.[2] He scored his first goal for the "Valiants" on 11 September, in a 3–0 win over Bury at Gigg Lane.[2] He went on to score a hat-trick on 6 January, in a 4–1 win over Southampton at The Dell.[2] This made him the last non-striker to score a hat-trick for the club until Louis Dodds in 2011.[3] He finished the 1933–34 campaign with 11 goals in 31 appearances.[2] He went on to score six goals in 36 games in 1934–35.[2] He hit seven goals in 30 appearances in the 1935–36 season, including the winner against First Division champions Sunderland in an FA Cup Third Round replay at The Old Recreation Ground.[4] Despite such cup exploits, Vale suffered relegation out of the Second Division.[2] Rhodes bagged five goals in 36 games in 1936–37, as Vale struggled to adapt to life in the Third Division North.[2] Rhodes lost his first-team place through injury in November 1937, and went on to play just 14 games in the 1937–38 campaign.[2] With 29 goals in 147 league and cup games, he was released from his contract in the summer.[2]
