Leonard Frederick Puddefoot (22 November 1898 – 1996)[2] was an English football player and manager.

Career

Playing career

Puddefoot started his career at West Ham United and appeared in the team photograph for the 1919–20 season.[3] He played with French club Cette in the 1921–22 season.[4]

He joined Falkirk from West Ham United[5] on a month's trial, following his brother Syd, who had moved across the border for a then record transfer fee of £5,000 in February 1922.[6] Puddefoot played a single game for the Scottish club, the first game of the 1922–23 season against Hibernian on 16 August 1922.[7]

Coaching career

Puddefoot coached Swedish side Örgryte between 1927 and 1928.[8] The team won the Allsvenskan that season, but due to the dual-league system at the time, they were not crowned champions.[9]
