Harry Albemarle Swepstone (14 January 1859 – 7 May 1907)[1] was an English international footballer, who played as a goalkeeper.
Born in Stepney, Swepstone played club football for Clapton, Pilgrims, Ramblers, Corinthian and Swifts.
[2] Nicknamed the 'Little Pilgrim' by the press,[3] Swepstone has the dubious distinction of conceding 18 goals in just six international matches as England goalkeeper, despite keeping two clean sheets, after making his debut in a 5–4 defeat to Scotland at Hampden Park.
[1][4] Swepstone was a founder-member of the famous amateur team Corinthian,[5] established in 1882, and is credited as suggesting the team's name.
