Henry Newton (born 18 February 1944) is an English former football midfielder, who made almost 500 league appearances for Football League teams during the 1960s and 1970s.[1]
He started at his home town club Nottingham Forest and went on to make 315 senior appearances for them, scoring 15 goals, and he was at the club when they finished runners-up in the Football League First Division in 1966-67.[2]
He left the club in 1970 to join Everton for a fee of £115,000 and played his first game for the Toffees on 17 October 1970. He was to make 85 senior appearances and score 6 goals for the Liverpool-based club before moving to Derby County in September 1973.[3]
His time at Derby coincided with them winning their second First Division Championship title, and Newton made over 100 League appearances at Derby before finishing his career at Walsall.[1]
Newton was capped by the England under-23 side on four occasions, making his debut on 25 November 1964 against Romania.[4]
