Football career
editMulford was born in Southampton and made his first appearance for St. Mary's in a friendly match against Reading on 26 September 1891.[1] He made his competitive debut a week later in the club's first-ever appearance in the FA Cup, a First Qualifying Round match at Warmley, which was won 4–1.[2] For the next round against Reading, he was replaced by Jock Fleming who scored a hat-trick in a 7–0 victory, although this result was overturned because Fleming had not been registered in time.[3]
Mulford continued to play in friendly matches, including scoring in a 6–2 defeat at Woolwich Arsenal on 27 February 1892.[4] He returned to FA Cup action when he scored in the first qualifying round match against Newbury on 15 October 1892 (with the other three goals coming from Bob Kiddle).[5] He scored again against Woolwich Arsenal in a 2–0 victory on 10 December,[4] with his final competitive appearance coming in Round 3 of the Hampshire Senior Cup against the Royal Engineers on 17 December 1892.[5]
