International Career
Hampson's international career was brief, due to the presence of Dixie Dean combined with Hampson's club playing in the League's second tier. He scored five goals in just three appearances. He scored one goal on his debut against Ireland on 20 October 1930, which England won 5–1. He then scored twice against Wales on 22 November in a 4–0 win. His last appearance for his country came in December 1932 against Austria when he again scored twice. He also represented the Football League four times, scoring nine goals – including a hat-trick in a game against the Irish Football League held at Bloomfield Road.

Hampson scored five goals in a 10-2 win for the Football League XI.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
