He played as a winger for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bolton Wanderers, Crystal Palace[2] and Walsall.[3] Outside England, he played for the Los Angeles Wolves, effectively Wolverhampton Wanderers under another name, in the United Soccer Association, and for Durban City in South Africa.

Biography
Bolton-born Wharton followed his father[who?] in becoming a winger in the Football League. His father had played in more than 250 league games for Plymouth Argyle, Preston North End, Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers and Newport County.
Wharton joined Wolves on his 15th birthday in 1957 and he turned professional at Molineux in October 1959, 2 years later scoring on his debut in a 2-0 home win over Ipswich Town on 11 November 1961 when he replaced Mark Lazarus. He then went on to score two more goals when making his debut in the FA Cup, versus Carlisle United in January 1962.
He was Wolves' first-choice right winger for the next five and a half seasons, he netted his first hat-trick for the club in March 1963 as West Bromwich Albion were beaten 7-0. He was in the Wolves side that lost their First Division status in 1964-65 through the time the team returned to the First Division two seasons later. In the summer of 1967 Wharton was part of the Wolves team who played as the Los Angeles Wolves in the United Soccer Association.[4] Wharton scored 83 goals in 242 games for Wolves when he joined his hometown club, Bolton Wanderers, for £70,000, the Lancashire club's record buy at the time.[citation needed] Wharton replaced Francis Lee, who had just been sold to Manchester City, and became Bolton's penalty-taker. Early the following season he hit his first hat-trick for the club in a 4-2 win over Luton Town. He left and joined Crystal Palace where he made 20 league appearances, scoring 5 times. He played in South Africa for Durban City, scoring the opening goal in the South African Cup Final in 1972.[5] In November 1973 he returned to England and joined Walsall,[3] playing 23 minutes against Leyton Orient after coming on as a second-half substitute in his only appearance for the club.
He later managed non-League clubs including Stourbridge, Brewood and Wednesfield.[3]
