Percy Arthur Gordon Champion (March 1887 – 1957) was an English professional footballer who played as an outside left in the Football League for Fulham.[1]
Champion served for 12 years in the East Lancashire Regiment prior to the First World War.[2] Two years after the outbreak of the war, he re-enlisted in the Royal Army Service Corps in July 1916.[3] He saw action in Salonika and was promoted to sergeant in August 1917.[3] At the time malaria and gastritis led to Champion's discharge from the army in November 1919, he was holding the rank of company sergeant major.[3]
