Arthur Fitzgerald Kinnaird, 11th Lord Kinnaird, KT (16 February 1847 – 30 January 1923) was a British principal of The Football Association and a leading footballer, considered by some journalists as the first football star.[2] He played in nine FA Cup Finals, a record that stands to this day.[3] His record of five wins in the competition stood until 2010, when it was broken by Ashley Cole.[4]
Kinnaird also served as president of The FA for 33 years.[1] For his contributions to football and the FA Cup, he was given the FA Cup trophy itself to keep in 1911 when a new trophy was commissioned.[5][6]
