England's First Football Captain: A Biography of Cuthbert Ottaway, 1850-1878

Michael Southwick

0/5 ( ratings)

Cuthbert Ottaway was an all-round sportsman in the heyday of the gentlemen amateurs. Educated at Eton and Oxford, he played first-class cricket, excelled at rackets and athletics, and was England's first football captain for the first official international with Scotland in 1872. His early death from pneumonia perhaps caused his sporting achievements to be overlooked - a matter rectified by this study. This is an updated edition of the original 2009 work, containing information which has come to light in recent years - as well as an account of the successful campaign for a new memorial. It is published on the eve of the 150th anniversary of the famous inaugural match.
