Wallace "Wally" Owen (born 1864; date of death unknown) was an English footballer who played for Stoke.[1]

Career

Owen started his career with Stoke St Peter's before joining Stoke in 1886.[1] He became a useful forward and scored four goals in six FA Cup matches in two seasons for Stoke.[1] With Stoke joining the Football League in June 1888, Owen instead moved on to the Combination with Long Eaton Rangers.[1]

He may also have made one FA Cup and one Staffordshire Senior Cup appearance for Stoke's rivals Burslem Port Vale in October 1886. A forward by the name of 'Owen' wore the number 8 shirt for the "Valeites" for two games and played as a forward, though his first name and history went unrecorded.[2]
