Kidorry Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Who was the first Sheffield born footballer to score a goal for the England football team?Just out of curiosity.
Kidorry Posted November 4, 2011 Author Posted November 4, 2011 Just found this and it looks like it was a man called Clegg who founded the Sheffield & Hallamshire football association. http://uk.ask.com/wiki/England_v_Scotland_(1870)?qsrc=3044#The_first_match
hillsbro Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 That's interesting, Kidorry. The Cleggs were a notable family of Sheffield "gentry" and were active in local politics, the law etc. (John Charles Clegg's younger brother William, who also played for Wednesday, was Lord Mayor in 1898.). Here is a scan from the "Sheffield & District Who's Who" of 1905 showing the entry for John Charles Clegg.
