Joseph Alfred Schofield (1 January 1871 – 29 September 1929) was an English footballer and football manager. A winger, he played for Stoke between 1891 and 1899, winning himself three England caps in the process.
He was later appointed as Stoke's manager in 1915, before he left the post in 1919.
He took up the reins at nearby Port Vale in March 1920.
He remained in charge at Vale until his death nine years later.
Though he did not pick up any major honours with either Stoke or Vale, he is considered a legend at both clubs as he played for Stoke in the First Division for eight years, and managed Vale in the Second Division for nine years.
