Albert Hillman Paddington (30 June 1881 – 3 April 1932)[2] was an English professional footballer who played as a half-back for Southampton and Brighton & Hove Albion in the 1900s.
He retained his place for the next match and made one further appearance in February, as Southampton went on to claim the Southern League title for the fourth time in five years.
[4] In the following season, Paddington made his first League appearance for nearly a year when, on Saturday 1 February, he replaced Bert Lee, who had been injured three days earlier with a "nasty kick to the head"[5] in the replay of the First Round FA Cup match against the cup holders, Tottenham Hotspur.
In the first half, Paddington struggled against the pace of the Spurs' forwards, including John Cameron and Sandy Brown but, with the assistance of George Molyneux, survived a goalless first-half.
After making only three appearances in 1902–03,[7] Paddington left the club in the 1903 close-season, and moved along the south coast to join Brighton & Hove Albion.
