Sidney Wheelhouse (September 1888 – 19 September 1916) was an English professional football right back, best remembered for his eight years in the Football League with Grimsby Town.[1]
A right back, Wheelhouse began his career with Northern League clubs Bishop Auckland and Shildon Athletic before moving to the Football League to sign for Second Division club Grimsby Town in 1907.[2] He was a regular with the Mariners for the next eight seasons and went on to captain the club, before leaving at the end of 1914–15.[2] He returned to Blundell Park in 1916 to play in a wartime charity match.[2]
