Richard Parker Hood (1886 – after 1908) was an English professional footballer who made 130 appearances in the Football League playing for Lincoln City. He played as a centre half or right back.[3]

Life and career

Hood was born in Seaham, County Durham,[1] and played football for Seaham Rovers before joining Lincoln City.[3] He made his debut in October 1904 in the Football League Second Division.[1] Hood, described by the Daily Express as a "resolute back", and his fellow defenders were instrumental as Lincoln eliminated Chelsea from the 1906–07 FA Cup on their own ground in a first round replay.[4] He remained with the club after they failed to be re-elected to the Football League in 1908, and contributed to their Midland League title in 1908–09,[5] making his final first-team appearance for Lincoln in the last match of that season.[1]

Notes

  1. Infobox statistics are for appearances in the Football League only. Hood played 25 matches in 1908–09, which included the FA Cup tie against Liverpool.[2] If he played in the Cup against Stockton as well, then 23 Midland League matches should be added to the infobox total; if not, then 24. The free-to-access sections of the LCFC Archive do not separate league and cup appearances.[1]
