Henry James Parker "Harry" Montford (1859 – 1942) was an English footballer who played for Stoke.
Career
Montford played for his local club Newtown before he joined Stoke in 1888 where his brother Edgar was playing. He was a member of Stoke's reserve side the 'Swifts' and was overlooked by manager Harry Lockett for the first team making just one league appearance against Accrington in September 1888. His only other senior appearance came in the FA Cup against Warwick County. Stoke lost and most of the reserve players including Montford were released. He later went on to play for Stoke Town.
