Cuthbert John Ottaway (19 July 1850 – 2 April 1878)[1] was an English footballer. He was the first captain of the England football team and led his side in the first official international football match.
Representing his university at five different sports – a record that remains unmatched[2] – Ottaway was also a noted cricketer until his retirement shortly before his early death at the age of 27.
