Ernest William Perry (3 November 1891 – 31 May 1979) was an English footballer.

Playing career

Perry played for Stoke before joining Port Vale in August 1919. He was a regular first team player and was in the sides that won the Staffordshire Cup and shared the North Staffordshire Infirmary Cup in 1920. He fell out of favour somewhat during the 1920–21 season and is believed to have been released at the end of that campaign.[1] In 1921, he moved to First Division side Bradford City, but never played a game,[2] and instead joined Crewe Alexandra.[1]
