Lewis Vaughan Lodge (21 December 1872 – died: between 21 October and 26 November 1916) was an English sportsman who played international football for England and first-class cricket for Hampshire.
Lodge was born in County Durham at Newton Aycliffe in December 1872; his parents were both Welsh, with his father, John, being the vicar of Haverton Hill.
[5] He may or may not have captained England in their 1896 encounter with Ireland; primary sources give the captaincy to either Gilbert Smith, George Raikes or Lodge.
[2] He was described in the book Birmingham City: A Complete Record as being "a powerfully-built back of the old school brigade", and it was noted that he was reliable both at kicking the ball and at tackling.
[11] Having suffered a mental breakdown in August 1916,[12] he spent the final weeks before his disappearance convalescing in a nursing home in Buxton, Derbyshire.
