Henri Wynn was an English football pioneer who, together with his son Edouard, co-founded Standard AC in 1892,[1] with whom they won the first two national French Championships in 1894 and 1895.

[2] Together with the Woods (Jack and Sid) and the Tunmers (Neville and Alfred), the Wynn was one of the most important families in the amateur beginnings of French football, which included the father Henri, a goalkeeper, and his three sons Edouard and Aubry, who formed the pair of backs, and Aubert, a forward.

[1] This group of football pioneers wanted the young British people living in Paris to have the opportunity to continue the sports that they had been playing across the English Channel.

[16] In 1904, the Wynns played a crucial role in helping United win their first-ever USFSA Paris Championship, which they claimed on the last matchday with a 5–1 victory over RC France, the two-time defending champion.

[20] For instance, during a Paris championship match against RC France on 15 February 1903, Edouard wants to come to blows with Guéroult, Racing's right half-back, after an on-field collision between them, but his father and captain, Henri, who was following and encouraging his players from the touchline, entered the field and slaps Guéroult from behind, who in return lands a "classic left and right forehands" that threw Wynn to the ground with a split eyebrow, thus sparking a general brawl which was only stopped by the intervention of the spectators; the local press specified that Henri's behavior was met with the disapproval by his teammates.

[22] This last comment also illustrates the ambient of xenophobia around a club, which, originally reserved for British nationals, gradually extended its recruitment to German-speaking communities from the mid-1900s.
