Samuel Challinor (2 April 1890 – 15 March 1963) was a professional football wing half who made over 100 appearances in the Football League for Brentford, New Brighton, Halifax Town and Accrington Stanley.[1]

Playing career

Early years

Challinor began his career in non-league football with Combination and Lancashire Combination sides Middlewich and Witton Albion respectively,[2] before earning a move to the Football League with Everton.[1] The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 denied Challinor the chance to make his professional debut for the Toffees.[1]

Brentford

Challinor joined Division Three South side Brentford for the Griffin Park club's first season of league football in 1920.[1] He made his professional debut in the first home match of the 1920–21 season, a 1–0 victory over Millwall.[3] He scored his first goal for the side in a 2–0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on 11 September and scored his second in a 3–1 defeat to Merthyr Town on 30 April 1921.[4] Challinor was released at the end of a disastrous first league season for Brentford, which saw the club forced to apply for re-election.[1] He made 32 appearances and scored two goals for the club.[5]

Later league career

Challinor saw out his league career with spells at Halifax Town, Accrington Stanley and New Brighton.[1]

Final years

Challinor rounded out his playing days at Mold Town and Llandudno in Wales.[2]
