Joseph Kitchen (born in Brigg, Lincolnshire) was an English footballer who played for Gainsborough Trinity and Sheffield United. He was a prolific goal scorer.[1]
[edit] Club Career
Kitchen came to prominence whilst playing for Division 2 side Gainsborough Trinity. Several clubs were interested in his services. [2] He signed for Sheffield United in 1909. He scored several goals for Sheffield during their campaign for the FA Cup final in 1915 [3] and scored the third and final Sheffield goal in the final a few minutes from the final whistle. The goal was a solo effort, he picked the ball up just over the centre line, beat two defenders and then slipped past the Chelsea keeper, who had come out to challenge Kitchen, before placing the ball in the empty net.
