Harold Arthur Armstrong (1885 – after 1911) was an English footballer who played as an outside right.[2]
He signed for Sheffield Wednesday from his hometown club, Wearside League champions Southwick,[3] in April 1907.[1] He netted 13 goals for Wednesday's reserve when they won the Midland League in 1908,[citation needed] but made only six first-team appearances for the Owls.[4] He moved on to West Ham United in 1909,[5] but never made an appearance for the first team,[6] and left for Darlington at the end of the season.[7] He played six FA Cup matches for his new club, scoring once, and also scored once in the North-Eastern League,[8] before moving back to the Wearside League with Silksworth Colliery Welfare.[9]
