Ezra Holmes (26 October 1885 – 1 May 1921) was an English professional footballer who scored 12 goals in 43 appearances in the Football League playing for Gainsborough Trinity and Birmingham. [2]
Holmes was born in Wombwell, Yorkshire. A small man who played as a centre forward, his performances for Gainsborough in the Second Division led Birmingham to pay the large fee of £400 for his services in November 1907. [3] He went straight into the starting eleven, played two first-team games, [4] and four months later dropped into non-league football with Stamford Town. [3]
