W.E. Powell was a 19th-century footballer who played for Burslem Port Vale.

Playing career

Powell most likely joined Burslem Port Vale in the autumn of 1884.[1] His first recorded game was in a 6–1 thumping at Blackburn Olympic on 1 November 1884 in a friendly.[1] The next year he was a member of the sides that won the Burslem Challenge and shared the North Staffs Charity Challenge cups in 1885.[1] He was rather callously given the nickname "Pull-it" after badly disjointing a knee in a 4–1 defeat at Crewe Alexandra in a Football Combination match on 20 October 1888; the injury was so severe a doctor had to be brought onto the pitch before Powell was carried off.[1] Once recovered he was mainly used as a reserve player and was released from the Athletic Ground at the end of the 1892–93 season.[1]

gollark: Do you really want to be beholden to the incomprehensible algorithms of Youtube?

gollark: Consider: it is basically just "celebrity", and there cannot be arbitrarily many celebrities.

gollark: To be fair, "YouTuber" is not really a good career option in general.
