Thomas Charles Hooman (28 December 1850 – 22 September 1938) was a leading English association football player of the Victorian era.
[1] He was also chosen to play in what is now regarded as the first official international match, between England and Scotland in Glasgow in 1872, but was unavailable due to other commitments.
[3] Hooman also competed in various other sports, representing England in athletics and rowing at the Henley Royal Regatta.
His obituary was published in The Times, and contained the claim that he had scored the winning goal in the 1872 Cup final.
This contradicts all known contemporary newspaper reports on the match, all of which state that Morton Betts scored the Wanderers' goal.
