Leonard (Len) Wootton (13 June 1925 – 9 September 1990) was an English footballer.

Playing career

Wootton joined Port Vale in August 1945 and played regularly in the war leagues. As the 1946–47 season returned to the pre-war norms, he only played ten league and four FA Cup games before being replaced on the right-wing by Don Triner. He asked for a transfer in January 1947 and was released at the end of that season. He moved on to Queen of the South in Scotland and then Welsh side Wrexham.[1]
