Alfred Boulton (1879 – 29 January 1916) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Blackpool as a right back.[1] He also played for Accrington Stanley and Kirkham and also served as secretary at the latter club.[3]

Personal life

Boulton was married with two children and worked as a plumber and painter.[3] On 11 September 1914, a month after Britain's entry into the First World War, Boulton enlisted as a private in the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment.[3] He arrived in France in September 1915 and by 11 January 1916, he had been promoted through the ranks to lance sergeant.[3] 18 days later, Boulton was "killed by a stray bullet" and was buried at Gunners Farm Military Cemetery in Hainaut, Belgium.[3][2]
