Edgar Bentley (born 1892) was an English footballer who played as a right-back for Port Vale.

Playing career

Bentley played for Kidsgrove Wellington before joining Port Vale in the summer of 1914.[1] He became a regular for Central League club and was in the North Staffordshire Infirmary Cup winning side of 1915.[1] As the club went into abeyance during the war he guested for local rivals Stoke.[1] Vale resumed footballing activities in the war leagues in 1916 and Bentley rejoined them in August 1916 to enjoy regular football once more.[1] He was conscripted in March 1917, but regained his first team place upon demobilization in December 1918.[1] However he lost his place in August 1919, the Vale being re-elected to the Football League in October 1919, after twelve years in the non-leagues.[1] Bentley took part in just two Second Division games in 1919–20 and was released upon the end of the season.[1]
