United captain in his one season (1914-15) with United, succeeding Charlie Roberts. Mixed up in the match fixing scandal, he was not one of those held to account and he went on to lead an amazing life including great success as coach in Spain, particularly at FC Barcelona where he is revered to this day thanks to his efforts to save the club and its players during the Spanish Civil war.
