Biography
Edward Henry Wordley (17 October 1923 – 1989) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Stoke City.
Career
Wordley Joined Stoke from local side Summerbank in time for the first season after World War II. He made his debut in a 5–0 win against Preston North End in February 1947 and went on to play four more times during the 1946–47 season as Stoke narrowly missed out on the First Division title.
