Frank Newton (12 November 1902 - ?), nicknamed 'Bonzo', was an English football striker who played for Stockport County and Fulham[1]

As one of 19 children, he joined the army upon leaving home, serving in India. He was a versatile sportsman, excelling in boxing, football, hockey and rugby. A keen explorer, he sailed in a cargo boat.

He served in the Calcutta Police as a sergeant and also as an engineer on the East India Railway.

A prolific goalscorer, he scored 93 goals in 101 appearances for Stockport County, before joining Fulham.

In 1931/32 he was the top scorer in the Third Division North when he set Fulham's seasonal goalscoring record of 43.[2] This was eventually emulated by Aleksandar Mitrovic in 2021/22.

His career ended prematurely through injury.
