As a right- back he played ten years for Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of the 19th century , during which time he played three FA Cup finals and won one of them in 1893 after a 1-0 win against Everton .
Athletic career
Baugh (pronounced "construction") attended St. Luke's School in Blakenhall , the "birthplace" of the Wolverhampton Wanderers , but learned to play football at the Wolverhampton club, which is also based in Stafford Road . Just before it but then pulled him to the "Wolves", he already had in the England team given his international debut, and on March 13, 1886 Irish Ballynafeigh Park the then selection overall Ireland 6: defeated first
Two years later was Baugh - as well as his team-mate and counterpart on the left, Charlie Mason - in the team in the 1888/89 season denied the first national league match of Wolverhampton Wanderers, that on September 8, 1888 against Aston Villa with ended in a 1-1 draw. In addition, he played all the main round matches in the FA Cup, moved into the final in 1889 and lost it 3-0 to Preston North End , the club that had been crowned the first English football champions the month before . The defenders Mason – Baugh stood together for England on March 15, 1890 and Baugh's second (and last) international match at the same place against the same opponent was won even more clearly with 9: 1.
The other highlights in Dickies Baugh's career were in 1893 and 1896 each reaching the FA Cup final. While the 1896 final against The Wednesday , which was also his last competitive appearance for the "Wolves", lost 2-1, March 25, 1893 at Fallowfield Stadium after a 1-0 win against Everton Baugh FC had the only one national title in his career. After a total of 227 competitive games and one goal - he scored it on December 8, 1894 against Liverpool (3: 3) - the long-time regular player left the club for Walsall FC . He remained in high esteem with the Wolves long after his career was over, and the Baugh family's special connection to the club was later also made clear by the fact that his son of the same name played over 100 league games for the club after the First World War .
Due to persistent knee problems, Baugh, who was considered extremely fair despite his aggressive style of play and also had good technical skills for a defender, ended his career after only one year in the service of the second division club .
