'''Arthur Styles''' (born 3 September 1949), known as '''Archie Styles''', is an English former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[left back]]. He made more than 150 appearances in [[the Football League]] for several clubs.<br />
<br />
Styles was born in [[Liverpool]], and joined home-town club [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] on leaving school in 1965. He won representative honours for [[England national football team|England]] at schoolboy and youth level. He was unable to make himself a regular part of Everton's first team, making only 23 league appearances in seven years at the club. In February 1974, together with [[Howard Kendall]], he moved from Everton to [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] in part-exchange for [[Bob Latchford]], the whole deal valuing Latchford at £350,000 which was at the time a [[Progression of British football transfer fee record|British transfer record]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,1720976,00.html |title=Bob Latchford |work=Observer Sport Monthly |first=James |last=Corbett |date=5 March 2006 |accessdate=11 February 2008}}</ref> At Birmingham, facing competition from [[Garry Pendrey]] and others, he failed to establish himself as first choice at left back. In 1978, he moved to [[Peterborough United F.C.|Peterborough United]] where he spent one season, followed by one season at [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]], after which he joined the coaching staff at the club.<br />
