Trevor John Wolstenholme (born 18 June 1943) is an English former professional footballer who made 93 appearances in the Football League playing for Torquay United[1] and York City.[2]

Wolstenholme was born in Prestbury, Cheshire. He began his football career as a junior with Birmingham City in 1959, and turned professional the following year.[3] He made his first-team debut as a 19-year-old, deputising for Welsh international inside forward Ken Leek in a League Cup third-round match away at Barrow, and scored Birmingham's goal to secure a 1–1 draw. He kept his place for the replay, this time playing in Malcolm Beard's position at left half; Birmingham won comfortably, and went on to win the competition.[4] Those were the only two first-team games that Wolstenholme played for Birmingham. In August 1963 he joined Torquay United,[3] where he played 82 league games in three seasons,[1] and then finished off his Football League career with York City.[2]
