Charles Campbell (footballer)

Charles Campbell (20 January 1854 – April 1927) was a Scottish footballer of the 1870s and 1880s who played for, and captained, Queen's Park and the Scotland national team.

A former pupil of the Edinburgh Academy, Campbell joined Queen's Park, Scotland's oldest football club, in 1870.

He scored his only Scotland goal in a 2–0 win over Wales in March 1877 and lost only one match while playing for his country.

[8] A keen orator, Campbell was also an important football bureaucrat, serving on the Queen's Park committee between 1874 and 1890 and holding the position of club president in 1879–80.

Campbell later moved to Ireland, where he had strong family connections and had spent much of his childhood, and died there in 1927.
