Edward Morse (born 1870; date of death unknown) was an English 19th-century footballer. He played 46 games (including 13 in the Football League and 25 in the Midland League) for Burslem Port Vale in the late 1890s.

Career

[edit]

Morse joined Burslem Port Vale in February 1895.[1] His debut came, rather unfortunately, in a 10–0 defeat at Notts County on 26 February; this was his only Second Division appearance of the 1894–95 season.[1] He became a first-team regular from March 1896, playing 12 league games at the end of the 1895–96 campaign.[1] However, he failed to rejoin the club after the 1897–98 season, despite the club retaining him.[1] Perhaps this was in part to his experiences that season; he was 'hurled under the waggonette' by the crowd after Vale won 1–0 at Doncaster Rovers on 27 March 1897 in a Midland League match, and he was also sent off the next week at the Athletic Ground in a 1–0 loss to Ilkeston Town after punching an opponent who Morse claimed bit him on the nose.[1]
