Archie Small

Archibald Rammell Small (1889–1955) was an English amateur footballer who played at inside-forward for Southampton in the years prior to World War I.

Football career Small was born in Droitwich, Worcestershire and was a prominent member of the Royal Engineers football team when employed at the Ordnance Survey offices in Southampton.

He joined Southampton as an amateur in 1911, making his first-team debut at inside-right, when he scored in a 2–2 draw at West Ham on 9 September 1911. After six matches in which the "Saints" struggled, Small was dropped and replaced by Harry Brown. He continued to play regularly for the reserves, scoring 19 goals, as a result of which he earned a County Cap for Hampshire.

By the summer of 1913, Small had left the Saints and returned to play for the Royal Engineers. After the war, he was still actively playing for the Ordnance Survey team, earning further County caps, and continued to work at the London Road premises until his retirement.
