Lewis Campbell (footballer)

Lewis Campbell (April 1864 – 1938) was a Scottish footballer. He was pacey and difficult to defend against.

Career
Campbell played for Dumbarton, Helensburgh, Glasgow United, and Hibernian, before moving to England to play for Aston Villa in January 1890; at the time of the 1891 census he was a boarder in Birmingham along with compatriot and teammate John Baird. At Villa he earned an FA Cup runner-up medal in 1892 as he was unable to prevent West Bromwich Albion romping to victory 3–0 at The Oval. In August 1893, he joined Port Vale. He claimed 13 goals in 27 Second Division in the 1893–94 season, and became the first "Valiant" to score a hat-trick (he scored four goals) in the Football League in a 5–0 win over Walsall Town Swifts on 9 September. However, he left the Athletic Ground in 1894 because his wife did not like the Potteries area. He moved on to Walsall Town Swifts and then Burton Swifts.
