Herbert Price "Herbie" Evans (born 30 August, 1894 in Llandaff, died 1982) is a former Welsh professional footballer.

Career

Herbie Evans was playing for Cardiff Corinthians when he was signed by Cardiff City in 1920 as part of the club's first season in the Football League. Despite his signing with the club he remained an amateur player until late into his spell, winning a Wales amateur cap when he played against England in 1922. Later that year he also made his debut for the senior side on 4 February in a 2-1 win over Scotland. He did eventually turn professional for the club but suffered a broken leg shortly after and a long recovery kept him out of league football for nearly two years. When he returned he found his place taken by Harry Wake and he left to join Tranmere Rovers in 1926. Unfortunatley he broke his other leg a year later and was forced to retire.

Evans was also a keen cricketer and played two season for Glamorgan during the 1920's.
