Biography

Archibald Samuel "Archie" Dyke (September 1886 – c.1955) was an English footballer. He played for Stoke, Port Vale, Aston Villa, Stafford Rangers, Coventry City, Blackpool, and Congleton Town.

Playing career

Dyke played for Chesterton, Newcastle Congregational, and Newcastle P.S.A., before joining Birmingham & District League side Stoke in 1909. He played one game in the 1909–10 and 1910–11 campaigns, before making 24 appearances in 1911–12, scoring league goals against Plymouth Argyle and Bristol Rovers. He then played 15 league and three FA Cup games in 1913–14, scoring once against Treharris Athletic.

He switched clubs to nearby rivals Port Vale in the summer of 1912. He made his debut in a 5–0 defeat at Stalybridge Celtic in a Central League match on 3 September 1912, and impressed enough to hold on to a first team spot. He lost his place in March 1913 and returned to Stoke that summer, having played 19 league games for the "Valiants". Dyke then moved on to Aston Villa. Whilst with Villa he guested for Vale during the war in 1916. He rejoined the club permanently in August 1919, but after being elected back into the Football League in October 1919 the club could not negotiate his transfer. He moved on to Stafford Rangers, Coventry City, Blackpool and Congleton Town.
