Cuthbert Coundon

Cuthbert Coundon (4 April 1905 – 18 December 1978) was an English footballer who played at outside-right in the 1920s, for Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Football career Coundon was born in Sunderland and represented Sunderland Schools. On leaving school, he took up an apprenticeship as a joiner, playing part-time for Jarrow in the North Eastern League, where he was spotted by scouts from Southampton of the Football League Second Division.

He moved to the south coast in April 1925 for a fee of £300.

Over the next season, Coundon only made a handful of appearances, before a run of 14 games in the 1927–28 season after Henderson had broken his arm. The return of Henderson in December brought Coundon's career at Southampton to a close and in June 1928 he was transferred to Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fee of £150.

Coundon spent one season with Wolves, before joining Southend United in May 1929. He then dropped down to non-league football in 1930, spending several years with Guildford City before becoming a coach with Sutton United in September 1935.
