Harry Marshall Ness (8 June 1885 – 26 June 1957) was an English footballer who played for Barnsley and Sunderland. He was a full back.
Harry Ness was part of the Barnsley side that contested the 1910 FA Cup Final. [5] They lost in a replay 2–0 to Newcastle United. He transferred to Sunderland in 1911. [6]
He was a FA Cup runner up again in 1913 FA Cup Final when Sunderland were beaten 1–0 by Aston Villa [5] but he did get a league winners' medal as Sunderland topped the table. [6]
In 1916, Ness enlisted with 42nd Battalion of the Royal Highlanders ( Black Watch) and first went to Perth to train. [7]
In May 1920, he was transferred to Aberdeen. [8] He suffered an injury in a pre-season match but was reported to have made a complete recovery by October 1920, and played for their reserve team. [9] Some incident occurred, as in May 1921, he filed a claim against Aberdeen with the SFA for £132 (equivalent to £7,000 in 2023). [10] The next month, it was reported that Aberdeen came to a settlement with Ness. [11] In August of that year, it was reported that Aberdeen would transfer Ness. [12]
He married Laura Hurd in 1924. He later worked as a publican in Scarborough, where he died in 1957. [13]
