About this person

William Nevill Cobbold, familiarly known as Nevill or "Nuts" Cobbold, was one of the leading footballers of the Victorian era and on several occasions a member of the England national football team. As late as 1922, at the time of his death, he could be described as "the most famous association football forward of all time", and certainly - in the words of his Times obituary - "the most individually brilliant dribbler, the player who could most often put in those thrusts that no skill could parry".
