Kenneth "Ken" Scattergood (6 April 1912 – 1988) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Bristol City, Derby County and Stoke City.[1]

Career

Scattergood was born in Bradford and began his career with Sheffield Wednesday where he failed to make an appearance.[1] He moved on to Wolverhampton Wanderers and again failed to get a game and so joined Bristol City.[1] He missed just two matches for the "Robins" during the 1933–34 season and earned a move to First Division Stoke City.[1] At Stoke he was second choice to Norman Lewis and as a result only managed to make four appearances during the 1934–35 season and left for Derby County where he finished his career.[1]
