Henry Norris (businessman)
Sir Henry George Norris (23 July 1865 – 30 July 1934〔) was an English businessman, politician and football club director, most famous for his chairmanship of both Fulham and Arsenal. He is particularly notorious for his alleged role in Arsenal's promotion to the top flight in 1919, despite them only finishing fifth in the Second Division.
==Business and political career==
Born in Kennington, to a working class family but educated privately,〔 Norris left school at 14 to join a solicitor's firm, leaving 18 years later to pursue a career in property development trade, partnering W.G. Allen in the firm Allen & Norris.〔 He made his fortune building houses in south and west London — Fulham in particular. He was commissioned into the 2nd Tower Hamlets Rifle Volunteers in 1896, but resigned the following year. He was later Mayor of the Metropolitan Borough of Fulham from 1909 to 1919,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mayors of Hammersmith and Fulham )〕 a member of the London County Council from 1916 to 1919,〔 and served as Conservative MP for Fulham East from 1918 to 1922,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=House of Commons: Constituencies Beginning with 'F' )〕 retiring after falling out with his party on the issue of tariff reform.〔
During World War I Norris had worked heavily as a military recruitment officer for the British Army. He served in the 3rd Middlesex Artillery Volunteers and in 1917 he was knighted and given the honorary rank of colonel for services to his country. He was also a prominent Freemason, rising to become Grand Deacon of the United Grand Lodge of England, and a well-known local philanthropist with close connections to the Church of England; he counted the Archbishop of Canterbury, Randall Thomas Davidson as a personal friend.〔
