Albert Victor Aiken (29 October 1914 – 1972) was a Northern Irish football right half who played in the Football League for Brentford.[2]

Career

Aiken began his career in his native Northern Ireland with Glentoran, before joining English Division One side Brentford in a £1,000 deal in the summer of 1937.[1] He failed to force centre half Joe James from his position and spent much of his time with the Bees in the reserve team.[1] Aiken made three league appearances for Brentford, at left and right half. Aiken left the club in 1939 to return to Northern Ireland and sign for Dundalk.[1]
