Frank Mobley (21 November 1868 – 1940) was an English professional footballer who played as a centre forward. He played in the Football League for Small Heath and Bury.[2]
For Small Heath, Mobley scored 64 goals in 103 appearances in all competitions,[1] and was leading scorer in three successive seasons, from 1893–94 – when he was also overall top scorer in the Second Division[3] – to 1895–96.[4]
