Joseph "Joe" Beverley (12 November 1856 – 21 May 1897) was an FA Cup winning English football player who played for Blackburn Olympic and Blackburn Rovers, as well as the English national side.
Club Football
Beverley started out with James Street and stayed with them when they merged with Black Star to form Blackburn Olympic. He moved to Blackburn Rovers in 1882, winning the FA Cup in 1884. He then returned to Olympic before once again transferring to play for Rovers in 1887, meaning he was part of the squad that entered the first year of the Football League in 1888-89, after which he drew a close to his footballing career.[1]
National Team
Beverley was selected to represent England at the inaugural British Home Championship in 1884 where he played in all three games, resulting in two wins and one loss, meaning England lost the round robin tournament to Scotland. His international career spanned a total of 23 days.[2]
Outside Football
Beverley married Mary Ann Gabbott in 1877 and they had five children, the youngest born just weeks before Beverley was killed in an industrial accident at Albion Mill. He was 40 years old.[1]
