Thomas "Tom" Orpe (born 1900; date of death unknown) was an English footballer who played as a winger for Stafford Rangers, Stoke, and Port Vale.

Playing career

Orpe played for Stafford Rangers, Stoke and Hanley, before joining Second Division side Port Vale, initially on a trial basis, in November 1922.[1] He scored on his debut, in a 2–0 win over Stockport County at Edgeley Park on 9 December.[1] Seven days later he went on to score in a 2–0 win over Crystal Palace at The Old Recreation Ground.[1] He fell out of favour in January 1923, as the man Opre replaced, Billy Harrison, was given another chance on the wing.[1] Opre then developed cartilage problems and was released, most likely at the end of the 1922–23 season.[1] He moved on to Cheadle New Haden.[1]
