Harry Haynes

Harry Haynes (21 April 1873 – 29 May 1902) was an English footballer who played as a full back for Walsall Town Swifts, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Small Heath and Southampton in the 1890s.

He made ten appearances as one of several players tried at centre-half before Alex Leake came through from the reserve team to become the regular first choice in that position.

[5] The Saints also reached the 1898 FA Cup semi-final, where they were defeated by Nottingham Forest in rather controversial circumstances after goalkeeper George Clawley had his eyes "choked with snow" and conceded two goals in the final minutes of the game.

[3] Haynes had already made plans for his life after football, taking over as landlord at the Turks Head pub in September 1898.

[3] After retiring from playing, he continued to act as a scout for Southampton – the most notable player introduced by him to the club was Joe French who spent two seasons at The Dell as a centre half before moving to New Brompton.
