Frederick William Chapman (10 May 1883 – 7 September 1951) was an English amateur footballer who competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics.
Club career
Chapman played for Notts Magdala, Nottingham Forest and South Nottingham, making three Football League appearances for Forest. He also guested for Port Vale in a league match against local rivals Stoke Reserves on 23 April 1910; Vale were 2–0 up when the match was abandoned due to a pitch invasion. In the summer of 1910, he agreed to assist the Vale "in times of need", but he was not called into action for the club again.
He went on to co-found English Wanderers and later played for Oxford City, South Nottingham, Southall and Brentford. He also guested for Northern Nomads and Notts County.
International career
Chapman made several appearances for the England amateur team between 1908 and 1910, netting 5 goals and being a member of the English amateur team that represented Great Britain at the football tournament of the 1908 Summer Olympics. Chapman played in all three games as a midfielder and netted two goals, scoring once in a 12–1 trashing of Sweden in the quarter-finals and then clutching the opening goal of the final in a 2–0 win over Denmark, thus contributing decisively to England's triumph in London. He also netted two unofficial goals, a brace in a 5–2 win over Wales on 20 February 1909.
