1884-1888 Appearances 46 Goals 40
William Nevill Cobbold, otherwise known as 'The Prince of Dribblers' or 'Nuts' was born in Long Melford, Suffolk on 4th February 1863. Cobbold was educated at Charterhouse and then progressed to Cambridge University and won four Blues between 1883 and 1886. Whilst at University he also represented Cambridge at tennis and was useful cricketer, later making one appearance for Kent. In all Cobbold was selected nine times to represent England scoring seven goals.
Cobbold was extremely fast and was hard to stop, but despite being a brilliant individual player, he was part of the revolution in the game which led to great team play and combined tactics.
"Built on ideal football lines, with sturdy legs and hips that could have carried a far heavier body than his, he was the finest dribbler ever seen. He played inside-left, and, swathed in rubber bandages and ankle-guards, he was careful to avoid getting hurt. He had a perculiar shuffling run, and a wonderful knack of shooting at quite unexpected moments and from quite unexpected angles. His shots were extremely accurate rather than particularly hard. His weakness was that he never headed the ball."
Cobbold went onto become a successful Army tutor and was one of the best known coaches in the country. In later years he suffered from bad health, but still remained full of life and energy and kept up a keen interest in the careers of all his former pupils who he taught at West Wratting. Cobbold died on 8th April 1922.
