Obituary |
"EX-FOOTBALL STAR DIES AT BLACKBURN
"Mr. Edgar Chadwick, a noted football star,
died to-day at the age of 72. He was a member of a talented Blackburn
family, several members of which rendered conspicuous service to the game.
Mr. Chadwick first linked up with the Blackburn Rovers after experience
with a junior club, and it is recorded that he left the club for the sake
of a paltry half a crown a week increase in his wages. He joined Everton
and with Milward constituted one of the most famous wings in English
football at that time. As an international inside left, he played at
Goodison Park for some years and later had experience with Liverpool,
Southampton, Burnley and Blackpool. He was a member of the F.A. team which
went to the Continent in 1901, and was later sent across the Channel to
act as coach by the F.A. He spent six years in Holland and had a spell in
Germany, the last war preventing him entering upon a four year contract
with a German club."
- The Lancashire
Daily Post, Saturday, 14 February 1942.
"EDGAR CHADWICK DEAD
"Mr.
Edgar Chadwick, an international inside left who gave great service to
Blackburn Rovers and Everton, died at Blackburn on Saturday, aged 72. He
left Blackburn Rovers to play for Everton in 1888, and after this went
from success to success. He also played for Liverpool, Southampton,
Burnley, and Blackpool. With Milward he constituted one of the most
effective wings in English football. He was in the F.A. team which went to
the Continent in 1901, and he later acted as a coach in Germany."

Playing Career |
|
Club(s) |
Started his junior career playing with the Little Dots FC club in 1884. He
was playing for Blackburn Olympic FC in 1886-87. Joined Blackburn Rovers
FC in 1887 and 'after faithfully
promising the Rovers that he would play for them as an amateur next
season', promptly signed for Everton FC in July 1888
along with his brother, Alf. Notts
County FC had attempted to buy Chadwick in October 1897. Everton placed
Chadwick on the transfer list on 17 May 1899 with a £200 asking price. |
|
|
'It has been constantly brought under my
notice that I am about to retire from the football worlds. This is untrue.
Why should I retire when I have good football in me? If I retire it will
be because of the big transfer fee placed on me by the Everton
directorate, thus hindering me from obtaining a decent situation. I have
served the Everton and Liverpool public honorably and faithfully during my
stay at Everton, and I think I have been treated unfairly. This will
probably surprise my Everton friends.' -
Sporting Life, Saturday, 29 May 1899 |
|
|
The £200 pricetag was reduced after the Football League intervened at
Chadwick's own appeal, on 30 May 1899, and he immediately signed with
Burnley FC for £40. Following Burnley's relegation, in May 1900, Chadwick
accepted an assignment to coach some players in Prague. On his return,
Blackburn Rovers FC attempted to re-sign Chadwick in June 1900, but they
refused to meet the £90 asking price, offering just £40. Chadwick complained to the Football League
again, but this time, the League did not intervene and the transfer was
unsuccessful. So Chadwick joined Southern League side, Southampton FC on 21 August 1900, the club of his
cousin, Arthur. They
were not required to seek his registration. After
a brief interlude with Blackburn Etrurians FC,
he made 52 Southern League appearances, scoring eighteen. |
|
|
'A single development of the League
transfer system is reported from East Lancashire. Edgar Chadwick has
bought his own transfer fro £35 from the Burnley Club, whose League player
he was, with the object of returning to League football. It was understood
he was anxious to join Blackburn Rovers, but it is now practically settled
he will play for Liverpool next season.' -
The Mercury, Friday, 2 May 1902. |
|
|
Joined Liverpool FC on 15 May 1902, and after their relegation, he
transferred to Blackpool FC
on 20 May 1904. Glossop FC signed Chadwick as their club captain in August 1905, and
onto Darwen FC on 11 July 1906. Glossop had wanted to re-sign Chadwick,
but he wanted to go closer to home. Guested for Blackburn
Rovers FC during WWI and also made one appearance for Blackpool FC
in December 1917, aged
47 years. |

Club(s) |
After learning the fine-art of
coaching in Germany in 1900, Chadwick, after coaching Blackburn Etrurians
FC in Germany in September 1900, became a pioneer in Englishmen coaching
abroad, He became a respected coach in Netherlands and took charge of the
Dutch national team from October 1908, a post he held until November 1913,
guiding the team to bronze medals in the 1908 and 1912 Olympics. The Dutch
attempted to sign Chadwick again in March 1914, but following the death of
Edgar's father, the opportunity was not seized upon, The German FA then
approached him to be their trainer for two years, the following month, but
this too was turned down, he was busy coaching HVV, HFC and Vitesse. He
won the Dutch Championship with Sparta Rotterdam in 1914-15. |
