'''Edward Tate''' (born 1901 in [[South Shields]], England) was an English [[association football|football]] [[full-back (association football)|full-back]] who began his career in Canada and finished it in the [[American Soccer League (1921-1933)|American Soccer League]].
Tate, a native of England, was described as a "big, burly, right fullback" that was a "colorful, wholehearted" player.<ref name="Ned01">{{Citation| last=| first =| year =1933| title =Shots At The Uprights| publisher=The Boston Globe| url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/431696943/?terms=%22Dexter%20Very%22&match=1| access-date = 13 March 2023}}</ref> He played with the England national team at the schoolboy level. At some point, he moved to Canada where he began his professional career in 1921 with New Waterford in [[Nova Scotia]], Canada. He then moved to Canadian Explosives in 1922. That year, he left Canada and signed with the [[Fall River F.C. (1922–1931)|Fall River F.C.]] of the [[American Soccer League (1921-1933)|American Soccer League]]. He spent four seasons in Fall River, winning the [[1924 National Challenge Cup]] with them.<ref>[https://www.rsssf.org/tablesu/usacuphist.html U.S. Open Cup at RSSSF]</ref> He then began the 1926–27 season in Fall River before moving to [[J&P Coats]] ten games into the season. However, he was back in Fall River for the 1927–28 season when J&P Coats traded him on 19 August 1927 for [[Findlay Kerr]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://geocities.com/bethlehem_soccer/gl081927.html |title=August 19, 1928 ''The Globe'' |accessdate=2010-10-11 |url-status=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091021102133/http://geocities.com/bethlehem_soccer/gl081927.html |archivedate=21 October 2009 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> For the next three seasons, Tate bounced through several teams. While he began the 1927–28 season in Fall River, he jumped to [[New Bedford Whalers]] at the end of the season. He then returned to J&P Coats for the start of the 1928–1929 season only to finish it with [[Philadelphia Field Club]]. He then played the fall 1929 and began the 1929–30 season with the 'Marksmen', but finished it with the [[Pawtucket Rangers]]. He finally found a home in Pawtucket and remained with the Rangers until his retirement when he became the team's coach for two seasons.<ref>{{cite book | last = Jose | first = Colin | title = American Soccer League, 1921-1931 | type = Hardback | publisher = The Scarecrow Press | year = 1998 | isbn = 0-8108-3429-4 | id = () }}</ref>
