Player
John Bain (footballer, born 1854)
John Bain (15 July 1854 – 7 August 1929) was an English amateur footballer who appeared for Oxford University in the 1877 FA Cup Final and made one appearance for England in 1877.
Career
Bain was born in Bothwell, Lanarkshire to Scottish parents Joseph Bain and Charlotte Piper,and was educated at Sherborne School and Winchester College before going up to New College, Oxford. At Oxford, he earned his blue in 1876. The following year he helped the university football team to reach the final of the FA Cup.
Three weeks prior to the Cup Final he was one of seven debutants in the England team to play Scotland at the Kennington Oval on 3 March 1877. According to Philip Gibbons, in the 1870s the England side "tended to be chosen on availability rather than skill alone" The change in the England line-up made little difference to England's performance against the Scots who won the game 3–1, with England's consolation goal coming from Alfred Lyttelton; the Scots thus inflicted England's first international defeat on home soil in the sixth appearance between the two countries. Bain, having been born in Scotland, became the first Scottish-born player to represent England. Bain, along with four of the international debutants, was never selected again for international honours.
