Albert Fletcher, sometimes known as Bert Fletcher,[1] was an English professional football wing half and centre half who played in the Football League for Brentford and West Ham United.[2]
Career
West Ham United
Fletcher began his career with West Ham United, making his professional debut towards the end of the 1922–23 season, a successful campaign in which the Hammers won promotion to Division One.[3][4] Fletcher had a run in the team in September 1923, but managed just seven appearances during the whole of the 1923–24 season, scoring once.[3] He was confined to the reserve team thereafter and departed Upton Park at the end of the 1926–27 season.[2]
Brentford
Fletcher dropped down to the Division Three South to sign for Brentford in 1927. He was a regular pick at wing half and centre half during the 1927–28 season and made 33 appearances and scored one goal in his solitary season at Griffin Park.[2]
Norwich City
After his departure from Brentford, Fletcher joined Division Three South side Norwich City on a trial basis.[2]
