Horace Elford Blew (January 1878 – 1 February 1957[1]) was a Welsh footballer who played at full back. He holds the rare distinction of representing Wales on 22 occasions despite playing in League football only twice in his career. Blew played for then non-League club Wrexham throughout the whole of his career, apart from one match for Manchester United in April 1906 and another for Manchester City in September 1906.
He made his Wales debut in March 1899, and was an automatic selection for the team between 1902 and 1909 missing only five games in that time.
After retiring from football, Blew was Mayor of Wrexham in 1923.[2] His son, Frank,[3] was also a footballer who played for Wrexham and Llandudno.
