- Frank Lawrence Wrightson (9 January 1906 – 1979), also known as Paddy Wrightson, was an English footballer who scored 123 goals from 236 appearances in the Football League playing as an inside forward or centre forward in the 1920s and 1930s. He played amateur football for Ferryhill Athletic of the Northern League before joining Darlington, with whom he made his Football League debut in the Third Division North and turned professional. In 1930, he signed for First Division club Manchester City, but he was not a success at that level, and moved on to Fulham. He helped them gain promotion to the Second Division, but played little after that. He joined Exeter City of the Third Division South in March 1933. In his second full season with Exeter he began scoring heavily, and at his final club, Chester of the Third Division North, he set a club record of 73 Football League goals that stood for 40 years.
