Sid Bishop (footballer, born 1900)

Sidney Macdonald Bishop (10 February 1900 – 4 May 1949)[1][2] was an English footballer whose main position was right-sided half-back, although he also sometimes played as an inside forward.

Bishop continued his career at Ilford, before moving on to Crystal Palace.

Bishop transferred to West Ham United in 1920 and was part of the West Ham team that won promotion to the First Division and also appeared in the famous White Horse Final, the first FA Cup final at the brand new Wembley Stadium, during the 1922–23 season.

Bishop went on to play club football for Leicester City where he gained England international recognition, winning four caps, the first of them against Scotland on 2 April 1927 (in a later era he might have played for Scotland, as his mother was from Aberdeenshire).

He moved to Chelsea in June 1928 for £4,500 and made over 100 appearances for the club before retiring in May 1933.
