Biography

Edward "Teddy" Parsons (January 1879 – 1956) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Stoke.

Career

Parsons was born in Stoke-upon-Trent and played amateur football with Stafford Rangers before joining Stoke in 1887. He was used as back up to Joe Murphy but he played in all of Stoke's matches in the FA Cup in 1898–99 as the team reached the semi-final before being beaten 3–1 by Derby County.

Murphy joined Woolwich Arsenal and Parsons took his place for the 1899–1900 and missed just two matches. But he lost his place to Billy Leech and left Stoke for Featherstone Rangers and then Brighton & Hove Albion.
