Edwin Joseph "Joe" Fountain (1871 – after 1896) was an English professional footballer born in Aston, now part of Birmingham, who played in the Football League for Small Heath.[1] Fountain, a left-sided forward, struggled to compete with Fred Wheldon and Toddy Hands.[2] He made his debut in the First Division on 9 February 1895 in a 1–1 draw at home to Sunderland, and played once more during that season and once towards the end of the next,[3] before returning to local football in the Midlands area.[2]
