  Harry Arthur Yeomans (11 April 1901 – 25 February 1965) was an English footballer who played as goalkeeper for Southampton in the mid-1920s.
  
  ## Football career
  
  Yeomans was born in Farnborough and played as an amateur for Camberley & Yorktown, also representing the Hampshire F.A., before joining Southampton in December 1922. At 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m), Yeomans was the tallest goalkeeper to have played for the "Saints" (along with George Ephgrave). Known as "Tiny", Yeomans was signed as understudy to Tommy Allen and consequently never enjoyed a lengthy run in the first team, making four appearances in April 1925 and eight in the following September/October.
  
  In 1926, Yeomans decided to abandon his footballing career and joined the local Police force, for whom he played in the local football leagues.
