Edward Morse (born 1870; date of death unknown) was an English 19th-century footballer. He played 46 games (including 13 in the Football League and 25 in the Midland League) for Burslem Port Vale in the late 1890s.

Career

Morse joined Burslem Port Vale in February 1895. [1] His debut came, rather unfortunately, in a 10–0 defeat at Notts County on 26 February; this was his only Second Division appearance of the 1894–95 season. [1] He became a first-team regular from March 1896, playing 12 league games at the end of the 1895–96 campaign. [1] However, he failed to rejoin the club after the 1897–98 season, despite the club retaining him. [1] Perhaps this was in part to his experiences that season; he was 'hurled under the waggonette' by the crowd after Vale won 1–0 at Doncaster Rovers on 27 March 1897 in a Midland League match, and he was also sent off the next week at the Athletic Ground in a 1–0 loss to Ilkeston Town after punching an opponent who Morse claimed bit him on the nose.

The 1896–97 season was Burslem Port Vale's first season of football back in the Midland League following a four season stay in the Football League. The first half of the season saw low crowds and poor results, the consequence of which led to discussions about dissolving the club. However, the club returned from the brink, as a new committee was formed, with Edward Oliver installed as chairman and Sam Gleaves appointed club secretary. Good results and large crowds followed in the second half of the campaign, and the club finished in seventh-place and narrowly missed out on re-election to the Football League. Vale were beaten by Football League opposition in the fifth qualification round in the FA Cup, whilst exiting the Birmingham Senior Cup, Staffordshire Senior Cup and Wellingborough Cup in the early stages, though they did beat Football League side Walsall in the latter competition. They won the Staffordshire Senior Charity Cup after beating Dresden United 3–0.
