Pat Ward (28 December 1926 - 2003) was a Scottish footballer who played as a wing half in the 1950s.[1]
He was born in Dumbarton, and after playing for junior side Glasgow Perthshire he was signed by Hibernian. He made his debut for Hibs on 24 March 1951 against St. Mirren, although he did not play many games in his first three seasons. Ward made his breakthrough in 1953-54, with 26 appearances, although after a further 19 matches in the following campaign, he was transferred to Leicester City for the 1955-56 season. In all he played 53 times for Hibs, scoring one goal (against Raith Rovers on 16 October 1954).[2]
He made a total of 57 Football League appearances for Leicester, and for a time kept Colin Appleton out of the left half position.[3]
Ward left Leicester for Crewe Alexandra in 1958 and made 31 League appearances for them before joining Corby Town.[1]
