Sam Cookson (English footballer)

Sam Cookson (born 1896, date of death unknown) was an English footballer. He was born in Manchester.

He played in the right back position and was described as one of the best uncapped full backs of his generation. He played for Manchester City F.C. between 1919 and 1927, forming a long-lasting defensive partnership with Eli Fletcher. His first team debut occurred in a 1-0 win over Bradford City on 1 January 1920. In 1926 he played in the FA Cup Final against Bolton Wanderers, but finished on the losing side. In total he appeared for Manchester City 285 times in the League and 306 times overall, scoring one goal. He left Manchester City in 1928. He also played for Stalybridge Celtic F.C., Macclesfield Town F.C. and Barnsley F.C.. Despite a long and distinguished career, the only honour he won was gained at the age of 39, a Third Division North title with Barnsley. His brother Jimmy also played for Manchester City, where he did not make the first team, and later played for Chesterfield and West Bromwich Albion.
