Arthur Henfrey


Arthur George Henfrey (19 December 1867 – 17 October 1929) was an English footballer who made five appearances for England between 1891 and 1896 playing initially as a forward and later as a half back. He also played cricket for Cambridge University and Northamptonshire.

Henfrey was born in Finedon, Northamptonshire and was educated at the nearby Wellingborough School, before going up to Jesus College, Cambridge where he won a "Blue" for Cambridge University at football in 1890 and 1891.

He made his England debut as part of a mainly Midlands-based professional team that played Ireland at Molineux, Wolverhampton on 7 March 1891. Henfrey played as an inside forward, scoring once as England were comfortable 6–1 victors. This was Tinsley Lindley's final England appearance, which he marked by scoring twice.

After leaving university, he played for the Corinthians club. In his next England appearance, against Wales on 5 March 1892, he again played up front in a mainly amateur team, scoring the first goal as England ran out 2–0 winners. His goal was England's 150th goal in international matches.
