Harold Payne Hardman (born April 4, 1882 in Kirkmanshulme , † June 9, 1965 in Sale ) was an English football player and Olympic gold medalist from 1908.
Athletic career
The short stature Hardman learned to play soccer while he was in school at Blackpool High School . Due to his very slight stature, he concentrated on his strengths during training, which were great speed, agility and good footwork. He mostly acted in the position of the left winger and was henceforth an amateur player, although he would later also act for numerous professional clubs.
His first notable station in club football would be Blackpool FC at the turn of the century . The big breakthrough came with FC Everton , for which he played from 1903 and was able to win the first FA Cup in club history in 1906 . He should be only one of three amateur players in the 20th century who managed to win this trophy.
Two years later he won the gold medal with the English amateur team for the United Kingdom at the 1908 Olympic football tournament in London . In total, he came in this selection to seven amateur international games, three Olympic appearances and also completed four international games for the English national team between 1905 and 1908 . Noteworthy was his only goal for England at home in Goodison Park when Ireland was defeated 1-0 in the British Home Championship on February 16, 1907 . Hardman later played briefly for Manchester United , Bradford City and Stoke , where he finally ended his active career in 1913.
At the same time he took on an official position at Manchester United, which he exercised until 1931 and then again from 1934. In addition to his commitment to Manchester, which lasted until his death at the age of 83 years, he was also a council member of the Football Association , as well as treasurer and chairman of the Football Association in Lancashire ( "Lancashire Football Association").
