Arthur William Lochhead (8 December 1897 – 30 December 1966) was a Scottish footballer who played as a centre forward.[2] [3] [4]
Having served in the Royal Garrison Artillery during World War I,[3] Lochhead started his career with Heart of Midlothian, making his debut aged 21 in March 1919[5] and soon came into consideration for the Scotland national team, taking part in the 1920 Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial match[3] [6] [7] before transferring to Manchester United in a swap deal in 1921, with Hearts exchanging him for £530 and Tom Miller.
After scoring 50 goals in 153 appearances for United,[8] he transferred to Leicester City in 1925 for a club record fee,[3] where he found the net over 100 times,[9] played in another Scotland trial (the last of its kind) in 1928,[6] [10] and was part of the side who finished Football League First Division runners-up in 1928–29. He later managed the Foxes for two years.[11]
