Ioan Haydn Price (1883 – 7 March 1964) was a Welsh footballer who played at wing half or centre forward for various clubs in the period prior to World War I, before brief spells as a manager with Walsall and Grimsby Town. ==Playing career== Price was born at Maerdy in Glamorgan and after playing for Mardy Corinthians joined Aberdare Athletic in 1902, where he played in the 1904 Welsh Cup Final against Druids, losing narrowly 3–2.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welsh Cup Final 1903/04 )〕 Price was a schoolteacher by profession and was nicknamed "the Birmingham schoolmaster".〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interesting and curious facts about full internationals and national players (1901-1910) )〕 In December 1904, Price joined Aston Villa of the English First Division; at this time, Villa had a large playing staff and Price rarely played for the reserves and never played for the first team.〔 Nonetheless, he was selected for his first Welsh Cap while still playing for Villa's third team.〔 His international debut came in a 1–0 victory over Scotland at the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham on 4 March 1907, with the only goal coming from Grenville Morris.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wales 1-0 Scotland (4 March 1907) )〕 Described as a "strong sprinter with good distributive ability but faulty shooting", Price was an extremely versatile player who could play at wing half, left wing or as a central forward.〔 In 1907, Price moved to Burton United where he played just one League game, in Burton's final match before they lost their League status at the end of the 1906–07 season.〔 Price remained with Burton United for a year after they were relegated to the Birmingham & District League, before joining fellow Birmingham and District League club Wrexham at the start of the 1908–09 season.〔 Whilst with Burton, he received his second Welsh cap, in a 1–0 defeat at the Athletic Ground, Aberdare by Ireland on 11 April 1908.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wales 0-1 Ireland (11 April 1908) )〕 Price spent one season at Wrexham, at the end of which the club won the Welsh Cup, although Price was not a member of the Cup Final eleven.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welsh Cup Final 1908/09 )〕 Whilst with Wrexham, he picked up a further three Welsh caps, playing in all Wales' matches in the 1909 British Home Championship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wales 3-2 Scotland (1 March 1909) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=England 2-0 Wales (15 March 1909) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ireland 2-3 Wales (20 March 1909) )〕 In the summer of 1909, Price returned to the English Second Division with Leeds City〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The definitive history of Leeds United: Review of 1909/10 )〕 but found it hard to force his way into the first team.〔 After just eight Football League appearances, he left Elland Road at the end of the season to return to the Birmingham League with Shrewsbury Town. He moved on to Walsall in 1911, staying there for four years until he retired having become the club's Secretary/Manager in July 1912.〔 During World War One, Price played for Tottenham Hotspur as a guest, making nine appearances, scoring three goals.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haydn Price」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
