Frederick Maddison (footballer)

Frederick Brunning Maddison (22 July 1849 – 25 September 1907) was an English footballer who played for England as a midfielder in the first international match against Scotland, as well as winning two FA Cup medals with Oxford University in 1874 and with The Wanderers in 1876.

Later he was a music publisher and, together with his wife the composer Adela Maddison, was closely associated with the French composer Gabriel Fauré.

He played for Scotland in the third of the unofficial matches prior to the first official international match, a 1–1 draw on 25 February 1871 playing under the pseudonym "F. Maclean". He won his solitary England cap playing on the left of midfield in England's first ever international match against Scotland on 30 November 1872.

The University reached the 1874 FA Cup Final and (with Maddison now on the right) this time they were successful, defeating the Royal Engineers by two goals to nil. Maddison was involved in the move which resulted in the second goal, when he, together with Cuthbert Ottaway and Robert Vidal, "dribbled their way to the Engineers' goal, where Frederick Patton was waiting to slide the ball between the posts."
