Benjamin W. Morton (28 August 1910 – November 1962) was an English professional footballer who played as a forward.
Born in Sheffield, Morton began his career with Stourbridge before joining Wolverhampton Wanderers in February 1933. He then joined Manchester United via a short spell back at Stourbridge in May 1935. His only game for United came against West Ham United on 16 November 1935,[1] and he left to join Torquay United in May 1936.
In October 1937, he was transferred to Swindon Town for a then-club record fee of £1,000,[2] and during the following season (1938–39) he was the top scorer of the Third Division South with 28 goals.[3]
He was a regular in the Swindon side until the outbreak of war and remained with the club. He played once during the 1945–46 season before leaving in 1945 to rejoin Stourbridge.
