Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox football biography Arthur Lewis Baker (8 January 1894 – March 1972) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Brentford as an outside left.

Career

A Royal Navy regular with no experience of professional football, Baker signed for London Combination club Brentford in the autumn of 1918.[1] His performances on the wing were such that he forced cricket/football star Patsy Hendren to switch to the other flank in order to stay in the team.[1] Baker was a part of the team which won the London Combination title in the 1918–19 season, but his Navy duties took him away from Griffin Park after the season.[1] Baker re-registered with Brentford on 15 October 1920,[2] during the club's first season in the Football League.[1] He made four appearances,[3] but the club declined to buy him out of the Navy.[1] He transferred to First Division club Manchester City in February 1920,[2] but failed to make an appearance.[1] Baker dropped into non-League football to sign for Athenian League club Hampstead Town briefly in 1922.[4]

Personal life

Baker joined the Royal Navy prior to the First World War.[5]
