**Joseph Stanley Foxall** (8 September 1914 – 12 August 1991) was an English [footballer](/source/Association_football) who played in the [Football League](/source/Football_League) as a [forward](/source/Striker_(association_football)) for [West Ham United](/source/West_Ham_United_F.C.).

## Career

Born in [Crowle](/source/Crowle,_North_Lincolnshire), [Lincolnshire](/source/Lincolnshire), Foxall had been playing football at [Gainsborough Trinity](/source/Gainsborough_Trinity_F.C.), where he spent three seasons, before being signed by West Ham United in 1934.[2] He made four league appearances in his first season,[3] replacing [John Foreman](/source/John_Foreman_(footballer)) on the right wing.[4]

He represented the [London Combination](/source/London_Combination) against the [Central League](/source/Central_Football_League) in November 1936.[2]

Foxall could operate anywhere along the forward line, and was often moved from the right wing to a more central role, swapping with [Sam Small](/source/Sam_Small), by [Charlie Paynter](/source/Charlie_Paynter).[2]

Foxall made 149 war-time league and cup appearances for the east London club, scoring 63 goals, and was a member of the team that won the [Football League War Cup](/source/Football_League_War_Cup) in 1940.[3]

His career at West Ham was cut short by a knee injury sustained in a game against [Queens Park Rangers](/source/Queens_Park_Rangers_F.C.) in September 1944.[2]

He subsequently joined [Southern League](/source/Southern_Football_League) side [Colchester United](/source/Colchester_United_F.C.) in 1948, where he spent two seasons.[5]

He later played for [Chelmsford City](/source/Chelmsford_City_F.C.).[6]
