Шаблон:Use dmy dates Sir Frederick Joseph Wall (14 April 1858 – 25 March 1944) was an English football administrator.

Career

Wall became Secretary of the Football Association, a position he held from 1895 to 1934. He was knighted in the 1930 New Year's Honours List.[1]

Notably, Wall refused on behalf of the FA to offer wartime financial compensation to famed Anglo-Irish coach Jimmy Hogan, on the basis of the latter's perceived co-operation with the Central Powers during the First World War (Hogan had coached Hungarian side MTK Budapest whilst interned as an enemy alien during the conflict).[2]

After retiring as FA Secretary, he was a director of Arsenal from 1934 to 1938.[3] Wall credited the Royal Engineers with being the first side to play the modern passing football style known as the Combination Game.[4][5] He credited the Corinthians with bringing about the later developments in the passing game.[6]
