Roderick McLeod (12 February 1872 – 20 December 1931) was a Scottish professional footballer who was part of the West Bromwich Albion team which won the FA Cup in 1892 and was a losing finalist in 1895.
[3] He made 38 cup and friendly appearances, scoring 9 goals,[4][5] before moving to England in January 1891 to join West Bromwich Albion for a £50 fee.
[6] His arrival at Stoney Lane came too late to prevent Albion finishing the 1890–91 season at the foot of the table and having to apply for re-election to the Football League.
In the FA Cup, however, Albion enjoyed great success reaching the final after a drawn out semi-final against Nottingham Forest which went to three matches, with the second replay (won 6–2) taking place in a snowstorm.
In the Final against Aston Villa, played at Kennington Oval on 19 March 1892, Albion's Cup experience proved the difference between the two Midlands sides.
He scored on his debut for Brighton with the consolation goal in a 4–1 defeat in the opening match at Southampton's newly built stadium, The Dell.
McLeod also found his goal-scoring form in the league with a run of three goals in three matches at the start of April 1900, but lost his place in the FA Cup side to Farrell.
[15] Understandably disappointed he moved to join Brentford in August 1900, helping them take the Southern League Second Division title in 1901.
