There is an unconfirmed report in Caxton's Association Football (1960) that Kingscott played a hand in the discovery of Steve Bloomer before his first game with Derby County.
[citation needed] In the first of those matches Bury defeated Southampton and in the second Tottenham were victorious against Sheffield United.
The following has been recorded of that incident: "A linesman flagged for a corner-kick after Bennett had charged Tottenham goalkeeper Clawley near the goal-line and the ball had gone behind.
The referee then surprised everyone by awarding a goal to Sheffield, on the grounds that the ball had crossed the goal-line as Clawley had attempted to field Lipsham's shot from the left seconds before Bennett had moved in to charge him.
Kingscott was in attendance in his duty at FA treasurer at the opening of York City's Bootham Crescent in August 1932.
