Joseph Harry Hampton (April 21 1885 - March 15 1963) was an English football player who was born in Wellington, Shropshire.Better known as "Happy" Harry Hampton or as "The Wellington Whirlwind," he played for Aston Villa from 1904 to 1920. He scored both goals against Newcastle United in the FA Cup final in 1905 and scored 5 goals when they beat Sheffield Wednesday 10-0 in a Division 1 match in 1912. Between 1913 and 1914 Hampton was capped by England four times, scoring two goals in games against Wales and Scotland. Hampton served on the Somme during the First World War and suffered from the effects of Mustard Gas poisoning. After scoring 242 goals in 376 games for Aston Villa he moved to Birmingham City where his 16 goals made him their top scorer for the 1920-21 season and helped the club to the Second Division title.
Following his retirement from playing, Hampton was a coach at Preston North End and former club, Birmingham.
