(coach) }} '''Edwin Dutton''' (8 April 1890 – 24 May 1972) was an Anglo-German footballer and coach. Dutton played as a forward for [Britannia Berlin 92](/source/Berliner_SV), [BFC Preussen](/source/BFC_Preussen), [Newcastle United](/source/Newcastle_United_F.C.) and [Germany](/source/Germany_national_football_team). During the [First World War](/source/First_World_War) he was interned at [Ruhleben](/source/Ruhleben_internment_camp), a civilian detention camp in Germany. During the 1920s he managed [Stuttgarter Kickers](/source/Stuttgarter_Kickers) and became the first professional trainer at [Ipswich Town](/source/Ipswich_Town_F.C.).[http://www.kickersarchiv.de/index.php/Main/DuttonEdwin www.kickersarchiv.de][http://www.prideofanglia.com/history/timeline-1920.htm www.prideofanglia.com] ==Birthplace== Dutton's parents migrated from England to Germany where his father, Thomas Edwin Dutton, became a sporting pioneer, helping introduce [football](/source/association_football) and [cricket](/source/cricket) to [Berlin](/source/Berlin) and [Wrocław](/source/Wroc%C5%82aw). As a result, there is some confusion over where Edwin was actually born. Conflicting sources have claimed [South Shields](/source/South_Shields) in [Tyne and Wear](/source/Tyne_and_Wear) or Mittelwalde in Germany.Enzyklopädie des deutschen Ligafußballs #8, Spielerlexikon 1890-1963, Lorenz Knieriem, Hardy Grüne, {{ISBN|3-89784-148-7}}, {{ISBN|978-3-89784-148-2}} This town is now known as [Międzylesie](/source/Mi%C4%99dzylesie) and is in modern [Poland](/source/Poland). Others have given his birthplace as Berlin.[http://ruhleben.tripod.com/id5.html Ruhleben website] ==Playing career== Dutton went to school in Berlin and played as right-winger for [Britannia Berlin 92](/source/Berliner_SV) and [BFC Preussen](/source/BFC_Preussen). In 1909-10 he played for [BFC Preussen](/source/BFC_Preussen) against Holstein Kiel, in a quarter-final of the [German championship](/source/German_football_champions). While playing for [BFC Preussen](/source/BFC_Preussen), Dutton also played one game for [Germany](/source/Germany_national_football_team), a 3–3 draw with [Hungary](/source/Hungary_national_football_team) on 4 April 1909. The game was refereed by [Hugo Meisl](/source/Hugo_Meisl).[http://www.iffhs.de/?29da14a95814689b5528db14a85fdcdc3bfcdc0aec70aeeda0ae01 www.iffhs.de] Later on, Dutton was with [Newcastle United](/source/Newcastle_United_F.C.) for a while but then returned to Berlin, rejoining his first club, Britannia 92. He became eligible to play in league and cup matches as from January 1913 following longish discussions concerning his amateur status.Der Rasensport (Berlin), Volume 1913 In February that same year, he played for Berlin against Paris. ==Prisoner in Germany== When the First World War began, Dutton was resident at Blücherstraße 42 in Berlin and was working as a sports outfitter. He was arrested in Berlin on 6 November 1914, and sent to [Ruhleben](/source/Ruhleben_internment_camp), a civilian detention camp in the [Spandau](/source/Spandau) district. While there he was interned in Barrack 1. The camp contained between 4,000 and 5,500 prisoners. Gradually a mini-society evolved and football became a popular activity. Dutton was one of several former professional footballers at Ruhleben. Others included former [England](/source/England_national_football_team) internationals [Fred Pentland](/source/Fred_Pentland), [Samuel Wolstenholme](/source/Sam_Wolstenholme_(footballer)) and [Steve Bloomer](/source/Steve_Bloomer), [John Cameron](/source/John_Cameron_(1872-1935)), a former [Scotland](/source/Scotland_national_football_team) international and [John Brearley](/source/John_Brearley), a former [Everton](/source/Everton_F.C.) and [Tottenham](/source/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C.) player.{{cite book|last1=Brown|first1=Paul|url=|title=The Ruhleben Football Association: How Steve Bloomer's Footballers Survived a First World War Prison Camp|date=2020|publisher=Goal Post|isbn=978-0-9955412-3-8}} The Ruhleben Football Association organised cup and league competitions and as many as 1,000 attended the bigger games. The teams adopted the names of established teams and in November 1914 Dutton played in a cup final as an outside left for a [''Tottenham Hotspur''](/source/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C.) team that also featured Bloomer. Their opponents were an ''[Oldham Athletic](/source/Oldham_Athletic_F.C.)'' team. The Tottenham team won the game which was refereed by Wolstenholme. Dutton also occasionally played [cricket](/source/cricket) at Ruhleben.[http://www.youandyesterday.co.uk/articles/Image:Stevebloomerruhleben1.jpg Picture of Dutton at Rubleben] ==References== {{reflist}} {{Stuttgarter Kickers managers}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Dutton, Edwin}} Category:1890 births Category:1972 deaths Category:German men's footballers Category:English men's footballers Category:Germany men's international footballers Category:English football managers Category:German football managers Category:Stuttgarter Kickers managers Category:Newcastle United F.C. players Category:World War I civilian detainees held by Germany Category:BFC Preussen players Category:Men's association football forwards Category:People from Kłodzko County Category:Footballers from Lower Silesian Voivodeship Category:20th-century English sportsmen Category:20th-century German sportsmen --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Edwin Dutton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Dutton) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Dutton?action=history)).
