Charles Wreford-Brown (1866–1951) from England.

Captained the national football team and was a county cricketer during the Victorian age, and later acted as a sports legislator during the 20th century. Despite the apparent lack of supporting evidence, Wreford-Brown is <usually credited with inventing the term soccer> as an abbreviation for association football.

He was also a keen chess player. He took part in the 1933 British Chess Championship, though he had to drop out through illness after two rounds (he had won the first game and drawn the second).
