About Ted Hufton

Lived 1892 – 1967 (aged 74). Ted Hufton was a British association football player and association football coach.

Arthur Edward Hufton (25 November 1892 – 2 February 1967) was an England international goalkeeper who earned six caps for his country. Born in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, he spent the majority of his career at West Ham United but also had spells at Sheffield United and Watford.

Club career He began his playing career at Atlas & Norfolk Works in Sheffield, before becoming a Sheffield United player for a fee of £20. He was generally regarded as understudy to Harold Gough, which limited his appearances during his time at Bramall Lane. In only his third game for his country, on 28 March 1928, an England team that was packed with many big stars, including Dixie Dean, Roy Goodall and Joe Bradford was beaten at home 5–1 by Scotland. He earned his final cap as an England player on 15 May 1929 when England lost to Spain, who narrowly edged a 4–3 victory.

Post-football On his retirement from playing he went into the motor trade in London and after World War II returned to Upton Park to act as a press room steward on match days.
