Edward "Ted" Winship (1900 – November 1929) was an English professional football left back who appeared in the Football League for Brentford and Coventry City.[1]

Personal life

Winship was struck down with yellow jaundice in June 1929 and failed to recover,[1] passing away five months later in Brentford Hospital.[2] At the time of his death, he and his family lived around the corner from Brentford's Griffin Park ground and the club's directors donated the proceeds from a reserve team match to his widow and children.[2] A week after his death, Brentford faced Norwich City at Griffin Park and prior to kick off, the 15,000 crowd stood in silence while a band played 'Abide with Me'.[2]
