Arthur Horatio Todd (7 July 1854 – 21 May 1945)[1] was an association footballer and barrister who played in the 1877 FA Cup final for Oxford University.
[4] Todd's first recorded football match against a non-Eton side was against the Gitanos club (which featured many Old Etonians) in November 1872, and which was played to the Field Game rules.
[8] The next day he made his FA Cup debut for the university in a 6–1 win over the 105th Regiment at the same venue, scoring the second goal "after a short run".
[9] He only played one more tie (the last-5 stage win over Upton Park)[10] before the final, against the Wanderers, and the university went down in extra-time, despite Todd's "brilliant runs".
[11] Before the Upton Park tie, he picked up his Blue in the Varsity match against Cambridge University, which Oxford won 1–0, despite being down to ten men after one of Todd's fellow forwards was injured just before half-time.
