Alfred Herbert Amos (9 February 1893 – 27 October 1959) was an English professional footballer who played as a wing half in the Football League for Brentford and Millwall. He is a member of the Millwall Hall of Fame.
A wing half, Amos began his career as an amateur with Old Kingstonians and joined Southern League Second Division club Brentford in 1913.[2] He remained with Brentford during the First World War and was still a regular in the team when the club was admitted to the new Football League Third Division for the 1920–21 season.[2][3] By the time Amos transferred to Millwall in 1922, he had made 139 appearances and scored five goals for Brentford.[3] He remained with Millwall for seven seasons and was an ever-present in the team which finished the 1927–28 season as Third Division South champions,[2] which secured promotion to the Second Division for the first time in the club's history.[4] Amos' achievements were recognised posthumously with a place in the Millwall Hall of Fame.[5] He finished his career with non-league club Hitchin Town and had a successful spell as the club's manager.[2][6][7][8][9][10]
