Alfred Ernest Priest (1874 – 5 May 1922) was a professional footballer from the North East of England who won the 1899 and 1902 FA Cup finals with Sheffield United.

Playing career

Priest was born in Guisborough and played for Darlington and South Bank before joining Sheffield United in 1896. He made his debut for The Blades in the Football League First Division in the 1896-97 season, playing mainly as outside left, and helped United win the Football League championship in 1897-98. That same year Priest was also in the United side that suffered a huge F A cup upset at Port Vale.^[1]

In February 1900, he moved to inside forward, forming a left-wing partnership with Bert Lipsham. He made his solitary England appearance on 17 March 1900 in a 2-0 victory over Ireland.

Priest also played on the losing side in the 1901 FA Cup final.

He subsequently returned to South Bank briefly before spending the 1906-07 season with Middlesbrough. Two years later he became player-manager at Hartlepools United.

After his career in football ended, he remained in Hartlepool becoming a publican until his death on 5 May 1922.^[2]
