Joseph Riley (6 March 1928 – 1983) was an English former amateur footballer who played as a forward in the Football League for Darlington and in non-league football for Stockton.[1]
Playing at inside left or centre forward, Riley had a run of seven Third Division North matches for Darlington early in the 1949–50 season, beginning with the visit to Doncaster Rovers on 3 September. He scored on his second appearance, in a 4–3 defeat of Bradford City, and again on his sixth, in a 2–1 loss at home to Mansfield Town. His eighth and last senior appearance for Darlington came in December.[2] In October 1949, Riley was selected for an Army XI to play Aston Villa.[3]
