Robert Ferrier (1899 – 1971) was an English footballer who played for Scottish club Motherwell as an outside left.[2][4] He holds the record for most appearances in the Scottish Football League,[5] and is one of the top ten goalscorers.[6] He was captain of the side that won Motherwell's only league championship to date, in 1931–32,[7] besides playing in two Scottish Cup finals (1931 and 1933, both lost to Celtic). Ferrier represented the Scottish League XI in seven inter-league matches, scoring five goals.[8] After retiring as a player in 1937, he was the Motherwell assistant manager and later managed Airdrieonians and Ayr United.[7]
In October 2021, 104 years after first signing on at Fir Park, it was announced that Ferrier was to be inducted into the Motherwell F.C. Hall of Fame.[1]
