(Lord) Arthur Kinnaird

Lord Arthur Kinnaird

Born 1847

Died 1923

An influential figure in the development of football Kinnaird holds the record for the most appearances in FA Cup finals.

(Lord) Arthur Kinnaird from nonleague football history

He played in nine finals in a variety of positions from goalkeeper to striker and was on the winning side five times; (1873, 1877 & 1878 with Wanderers and 1879 & 1882 with Old Etonians).

Kinnaird also holds the unfortunate distinction of scoring the first own goal in a cup final when, as a keeper, he inadvertently carried the ball over his own line in the 1877 match against Oxford University.

Kinnaird was instrumental in arranging the first unofficial internationals between England and Scotland and won his only official Scottish cap in the 1873 defeat to England.

Very skilled in the (soon to be outlawed) art of ‘hacking’ he was known as the toughest tackler in the game.

Kinnaird went on to be FA president for 33 years dying shortly before the opening of Wembley Stadium.
