Peter Proudfoot (28 October 1879 – 4 March 1941)[5] was a Scottish footballer who scored 21 goals in 162 appearances in the Football League playing for Lincoln City, Clapton Orient, Chelsea[6] and Stockport County. He played at inside right, centre half or right half.[7] He also played in the Southern League for Millwall[8] and briefly for Scottish Football League clubs St Mirren, Albion Rovers and Morton.[7][9] When he signed for Millwall in 1904, the Daily Express described him as "a big strapping fellow with a fine knowledge of the game".[10] He was the first player to be transferred directly from Chelsea to Manchester United.[11]
Proudfoot was manager of Clapton Orient in three spells covering much of the 1920s and 1930s.[12] In 1928, the Football Association suspended him from football for six months for financial irregularities.[13]
