William Kirschner
Professor William Kirschner was an early football player for the Pittsburgh Athletic Club. He may, or may not, have been one of the earliest professional football players. Even though he had never played football before 1890, he had the ability to learn and adapt to the game quickly. During the 1890s he was viewed as one of the best offensive linemen in Pennsylvania.
==Formation of the team==
When the Pittsburgh A. C. (then called the East End Gymnasium Club) formed its team in 1891, Kirschner, who was a standout lineman, became the team’s bulwark. Prior to the formation of the football program, the club excelled at track and field and gymnastics. A year before the team began, Kirschner and Grant Dibert (who were both East End members) played on a pick-up team called the "All-Pittsburghs". Kirschner played center for the "All-Pittsburghs" so that he could square off against the Allegheny Athletic Association's John Moorehead. While Allegheny proved too much for the "All-Pittsburghs", Kirschner and several other East End players left the game with the experience needed to form a team in 1891.
However rivialry aside, Kirschner did play one game for Allegheny in 1890 during a 6-4 loss to the Cleveland Athletic Club. Allegheny manager, O. D. Thompson was able to persuade Kirschner to play a guard position.
