Template:Use British English Template:Infobox football biography Ambrose Arthur Samson (14 October 1897 – 1980) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham.[1] He played as a goalkeeper.

Samson was born in Measham, Leicestershire, and began his football career with Measham Town before joining Birmingham in 1922.[2] He made his debut in the First Division on 3 March 1923, deputising for Dan Tremelling in a game at Preston North End which Birmingham won 3–2. Tremelling's form restricted Samson to two appearances that season,[3] at the end of which he returned to non-league football with Burton Town.[2]

The 1939 Register lists Samson as living with his wife, Elsie, in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, and working as a colliery winding engineer.[4] He died in 1980 in Coalville, Leicestershire, at the age of 82.[5]
