Sidney Tyler (7 December 1904 – 25 January 1971) was an English footballer who played as a full-back.

Born in Wolverhampton, Tyler began his career with nearby Stourbridge. As a 17-year-old, he joined Manchester United in May 1922, but he only played one match for them in the 1923–24 season, a 3–0 home win over Leicester City on 10 November 1923. In May 1924, he returned to his hometown club, Wolverhampton Wanderers, who had just been promoted back to the Second Division. However, Tyler struggled to hold down a first team spot at Wolves and only made 18 league appearances in three seasons there.

He signed for Third Division South side Gillingham in August 1927, where he made a far bigger impression. In two seasons with the Kent club, Tyler made 76 league appearances, [2] but he left in 1929, first on trial with Norwich City, before joining Millwall on a permanent basis. After 29 games in two seasons with Millwall, Tyler moved to Colwyn Bay United in 1931, before returning to the West Midlands in 1933 to play for Chamberlain & Hookham.

The 1926–27 season was the 32nd season of competitive football by Southampton, and the club's fifth in the Second Division of the Football League. After having their worst year in the division the previous season, Southampton began the 1926–27 league campaign in strong fashion and found themselves in amongst the promotion hopefuls by the end of the year, just two points off front-runners Middlesbrough. However, following a lengthy run in the FA Cup the club's form began to deteriorate, ending with a series of 13 games which included just one win. The Saints dropped from as high as the top six of the Second Division table to a mid-table position, ending the season in 13th place with 15 wins, 12 draws and 15 losses – just one position and four points higher than their 14th-place finish the previous season.

During the 1937–38 English football season, Gillingham F.C. competed in the Football League Third Division South, the third tier of the English football league system. It was the 18th season in which Gillingham competed in the Football League. The team won only three times in nineteen Football League matches between August and December; in November and December they played six league games and lost every one without scoring a goal, leaving them bottom of the division at the end of 1937. Although Gillingham's performances improved in the second half of the season, with seven wins between January and May, they remained in last place at the end of the season, meaning that the club was required to apply for re-election to the League. The application was rejected, and as a result the club lost its place in the Football League and joined the regional Southern League.
