}}Edward John Lightfoot (13 November 1889 – 20 July 1918) was an English footballer who played for Harrowby, Southport Central and Tottenham Hotspur.[1]

Football career

Lightfoot signed for Tottenham Hotspur after spells with Harrowby and Southport.[3] The left half featured in 66 matches and scored twice in all competitions between 1911 and 1915.[4]

First World War

Lightfoot was one of several former and current (at that time) Spurs players who died in action in World War I.[5] In early 1916, Lightfoot joined the Royal Garrison Artillery.[4] He died at 1st Australian Casualty Clearing Station in Esquelbecq on 20 July 1918, the cause of his death is unknown.[4] Lightfoot is buried at the Esquelbecq Military Cemetery.[2][6]

Perseus writing in the Lancashire Daily Post paid the following tribute "Edward Lightfoot was a splendid footballer but, more than that, he was a good sportsman and a player that respected both himself and his opponents. He has joined a noble company who will leave a big void in football".[7]
