Arthur Fitzgerald Kinnaird, the 11th Lord Kinnaird KT (Order of the Thistle), was perhaps football’s first celebrity – a 19th century David Beckham if you will, albeit one with a big red beard who played in knickerbockers, a jumper, and a cricket cap.

Although he was born in England, in 1847, his only international appearance was for Scotland in the 1873 UFWC match against England.

He played in nine FA Cup finals, won five, and scored in three. He celebrated his fifth FA Cup victory by standing on his head in front of the stands. He played up front and in goal, when the fancy took him, and scored one of the very first recorded own-goals, in the FA Cup final of 1877.

A renowned ‘hacker’, Kinnaird was known to go for the shins. Once, when Kinnaird’s wife worried that he might return home with a broken leg, a friend commented, ‘You must not worry, madam. If he does, it will not be his own.’

Lord Kinnaird was president of the English FA for 33 years until his death in 1923.
