Charles Scott (lacrosse)

Charles Hubert Scott was a British lacrosse goalkeeper who won a silver medal with the Great Britain team at the 1908 Summer Olympics. Born in Dedham, England, on 27 October 1883, the son of a publisher, he was chosen at eighteen to play for the Duke of Argyll's Team against the touring Canadians in 1902. The next year he made the first of many appearances for the South in the annual match against the North, and in 1904 his goalkeeping helped Middlesex beat Surrey to win the Southern Counties Championship. He began with West London Lacrosse Club and joined the leading English side, Stockport, shortly before the 1908 Games. An oil merchant by profession, he also played cricket and rugby for the Old Leysians. He died in Bowdon on 7 November 1954.
