Frank Whitehouse (June 1876 – before 1960) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Burslem Port Vale, Glossop and Stoke.[1]
Playing career
Whitehouse played for Bucknall, before joining Burslem Port Vale in June 1899.[2] He bagged a brace on his (known) debut, playing outside-right in a 5–0 win over West Bromwich Albion at the Athletic Ground on 11 December 1899, in a first round Birmingham Senior Cup match. He played 19 Second Division matches for Vale, scoring once in a 2–1 defeat to Small Heath at Muntz Street.
He signed for Stoke in May 1900 and spent his first two seasons at the Victoria Ground in the reserves before becoming a regular in the 1902–03 season, where he scored nine goals.[1] He scored the same amount in the 1903–04 campaign, and hit a hat-trick in a 3–2 Boxing day win over Bolton Wanderers at Burnden Park. However he lost his place in the side to Ross Fielding mid-way through the 1904–05 season. He left the Victoria Ground in the summer of 1905 and joined Second Division Glossop, where he played 20 times, scoring four goals.[1]
