Francis Demainbray Crowdy (17 September 1857 - 12 February 1939) was an English medical doctor and footballer who played in the 1880 FA Cup final for Oxford University.
[2] He had an aptitude for athletics, winning the school's high jump contest in 1874 with a clearance of 5', and second in the pole vault with a height of 8'1".
[12] After leaving university he continued to play football, usually on the left-wing or in the centre of the forward line, for the Old Westminsters.
[13] His last match of any note was in the 3–2 defeat to the Old Carthusians in the 1882–83 FA Cup third round, in which he had the role of captain.
[14] Dr Crowdy was a member of the British Medical Association for 37 years; he originally practised at St Thomas' Hospital in London,[15] and spent 30 years in practice in Torquay, never mentioning his association football career to his colleagues, and instead enjoying cricket as a recreation.
