Thomas Christopher Porter (25 October 1885 – 4 June 1915) was an English amateur footballer who played in the Football League for Stockport County and Glossop as an inside forward.[1] He scored 7 goals in 4 appearances for England Amateurs, including two hat-tricks in a 9–0 win against Germany, which still is the team's highest defeat of its history,[3] and against France in a 11–0 victory.[4] He scored a further 5 goals for the Amateurs side in unofficial matches, a brace in a 5–1 win over Ireland in 1908 and yet another hat-trick in a 6–0 win over Wales in 1909, bringing his tally to 12 goals.[4] He was also part of Great Britain's squad for the football tournament at the 1908 Summer Olympics, but he did not play in any matches.[5] Porter also played cricket for Broughton and Lancashire's second XI.[6]
