Harry William Holman (16 November 1957 – 6 November 2020) was an English professional footballer who played as a forward for Exeter City and Peterborough United in the Football League.[1]

The son of a former Exeter City player, Harry was just one of two people to represent England in football and rugby at the under-15 level.[1] After beginning his career in the Chelsea youth setup, he signed a deal with his hometown club in July 1976, and made his debut a few months later.[2] That year they secured promotion to the Football League Third Division.[2] In August 1978 he requested a transfer, and he made the move to Peterborough United, where he stayed until the end of the season.[2] He moved back to Exeter, and played a few games with local non-league side Exmouth Town.[2]

Holman died on 6 November 2020, aged 62, ten days shy of his 63rd birthday.[1]
