Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox football biography Henry Ross Edwards (1870 – after 1899) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Small Heath.[1]

Edwards was born in Coventry, Warwickshire. An inside forward,[2] he attracted the attention of the Small Heath club, whose scout went to watch him playing for Singer's; they signed him, together with his more impressive teammate Frank Mobley, who went on to score 64 goals in four seasons for Small Heath.[3] Edwards played in the first five games of the 1892–93 season – Small Heath's first season in the Football League – and scored on his debut, in a 5–1 defeat of Port Vale,[4] but could not compete with Billy Walton and the prolific Fred Wheldon.[2] He played for Leicester Fosse in the Midland League and for Derby County, without appearing in their Football League side, before moving to Southern League club Wolverton L&NWR.[1] Edwards settled well at Wolverton, playing as an attacking centre half, and stayed for three seasons before moving to fellow Southern League club Watford.[2]

Edwards' younger brother Bill was also a professional footballer who played for Small Heath.[2]

Edwards died in his native Coventry.[2]
