Wilfred "Wilf" Smith (born 1918) was an English professional footballer who played as a full back.
Career
Smith began his career as an amateur with Clevedon Town before turning professional with Bristol Rovers. Smith spent ten years at Rovers and, because League football was suspended due to the Second World War, only made a total of 26 appearances in the Football League for them.[1] Smith signed for Newport County in December 1946 in a swap deal involving Ken Wookey.[2] At Newport, Smith made a further 9 League appearances.[3] Smith later played in Wales with Abergavenny Thursdays.
