Alfred James Sabin (7 April 1905 – 1982) was an English footballer who played in the First Division of the Football League for Birmingham. [1]
Sabin was born in Oldbury, which was then part of Worcestershire. Described as an attacking wing half, [3] he had been playing for Accles & Pollock's works team when given a run-out in Birmingham's last two games of the 1929–30 season, making his debut in a 1–1 draw away to Sheffield Wednesday on 28 April 1930. [4] He was not kept on, and returned to non-league football with Oldbury United and Leamington Town. [3]
