Alexander Tod was an English amateur footballer who scored for Old Carthusians in its 1881 FA Cup Final win.
[1] He went up to Charterhouse School, an early hotbed of the Association game, in 1869, and captained the "twenty-two" against the "eleven" in an inter-school match in 1873.
[3] His first goal in a "first-class" match was against Weyside in a 2–0 win in early 1874;[4] he scored a hat-trick against the 10th Regiment at Christmas the following year.
[8] In the 1880–81 FA Cup, he did not appear until the fifth round, this time on the left of the forward line; at that stage the Carthusians knocked out the holders Clapham Rovers.
[10] His crowning achievement was scoring the third and decisive goal in the final against the Old Etonians, either by deflecting a shot from Richards[11] or finishing a pass from William Page.
