Sir Joseph Vintcent (12 November 1861 – 4 August 1914) was a Cape Colony-born amateur footballer, who played for Old Carthusians in its 1881 FA Cup Final win, and who went on to become a senior judge in Southern Rhodesia.
[1] After leaving Charterhouse, Vintcent played for the Old Carthusians with his fellow old boys, and, with almost perfect timing, made his debut for the club in the fifth round of the 1880–81 FA Cup, as the O.C.s beat Clapham Rovers to reach the semi-final.
[7] His final recorded match was for a Middlesex select against Oxford University at the Kennington Oval in January 1885; he signed off with a 3–2 win.
[1] He was made a Knight Bachelor in 1910 by Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, during the latter's visit to Southern Rhodesia.
He died on 14 August 1914 of a paralytic seizure, six days after the death of his bench colleague[11] of 18 years Mr Justice Watermeyer.
