Harry Beddow (born March 12, 1901 in Rogerstone , † May 13, 1972 in Auckland ) was a Welsh football player .

Career

The amateur footballer Beddow came from Bassaleg, a suburb of Newport , for the 1922/23 season to AFC Newport County . In addition to 15 games in the reserve team, Beddow also played a game for the first team in the Third Division South on October 21, 1922 , the game against Merthyr Town ended in a 1-1 draw. Newport had been in the previous six games without scoring their own, the last three games of which ended in goalless draws. In this game, too, it was not a Newport player who ensured the goal, but an opposing player. The Athletic News described the Newport attack series consisting of Charlie Brittan , Billy Edwards , Bill Ogley , Tommy Lowes and Beddow as "weak", which again remained without a goal in the following three games.

Beddow later emigrated to New Zealand and died there in Auckland in 1972.
