Albert Arthur Gosnell (10 February 1880 – 6 January 1972) was an England international footballer who played in two FA Cup finals for Newcastle United in the early 20th century and later managed Norwich City.
An outside-left, he began his career with local club Colchester Town before joining Newcastle United following spells with New Brompton and Chatham.
[2] He was the youngest of nine children to Edward Jo and Annie Maria (née Hyam); his father was a harness maker and saddler.
[2] Outside of football he worked as an engine fitter and was married to Margaret Helen Brownlow in Newcastle upon Tyne in December 1909.
He also played in the 1905 FA Cup final at Crystal Palace, which ended in a 2–0 defeat to Aston Villa following two goals from Harry Hampton.
[1] He appeared fairly regularly throughout the 1912–13 season, though on 9 November, in a match at Liverpool Reserves, he was mistakenly sent off for kicking an opponent during a 1–0 defeat.
