Richard Herron (1890 – 19 September 1918) was an English footballer who played for Stoke.[1]

Career

[edit]

Herron was born in Durham and began his career with non-league West Stanley.[1] He moved to Stoke in 1910 who at the time were playing in the Southern League and began a useful back up to first choice Bert Gadsden.[1] He played in 20 matches in 1914–15 as Stoke won the Southern Football League Division Two title and were able to gain re-election to the Football League and Herron was tipped to become a fine goalkeeper. However, World War I was declared and Herron joined the Army. He was killed in action in France in 1917.[1][3]
