Arthur John Caldwell (24 February 1913 – 26 July 1989) was an English footballer. A left-winger noted for his pace, he played for Manchester United, Winsford United and Port Vale in the 1930s

Playing career

Caldwell played for Manchester United, (without making any first-team appearances) and Winsford United, and after a trial at Aston Villa joined Port Vale in May 1935.[1] He played one Second Division game for the club in the 1934–35 season.[1] He scored ten goals in 42 games in the 1935–36 season, the first one of note being against former employers Manchester United at Old Trafford in a 7–2 defeat.[1] He also scored the equalizer in a 2–2 draw with top-flight Sunderland at Roker Park that earned the "Valiants" a replay in the Third Round of the FA Cup.[1] However he was limited to just 13 Third Division North games in the 1936–37 season, scoring two goals, as he was struck down with injury.[1] He recovered to score ten goals in 35 league games in the 1937–38, including a hat-trick in a 5–1 win over Hartlepools United at The Old Recreation Ground on 9 October.[1] However he featured just four times in the Third Division South in the 1938–39 season, and left the club as World War II approached.[1]
