Henry James Parker "Harry" Montford (1859 – 1942) was an English footballer who played for Stoke.[1]

Career

Montford played for his local club Newtown before he joined Stoke in 1888 where his brother Edgar was playing.[1] He was a member of Stoke's reserve side the 'Swifts' and was overlooked by manager Harry Lockett for the first team making just one league appearance against Accrington in September 1888.[1] His only other senior appearance came in the FA Cup against Warwick County.[1] Stoke lost and most of the reserve players including Montford were released. He later went on to play for Stoke Town.[1]
