James Hogan (16 October 1882 – 30 January 1974) was an English football player and coach.[1] He enjoyed some success as a footballer, reaching an FA Cup semi-final with Fulham in 1907–08, but his primary legacy is as a pioneer of the game and as an innovative coach across multiple European club and national sides. Named "the most influential coach there has ever been" by Jonathan Wilson,[1] Hogan is regarded by some as the architect of Total Football.[2][3]
