Club career
editChapman played for Notts Magdala, Nottingham Forest and South Nottingham,[1] making three Football League appearances for Forest.[3] He also guested for Port Vale in a league match against local rivals Stoke Reserves on 23 April 1910; Vale were 2–0 up when the match was abandoned due to a pitch invasion.[1] In the summer of 1910, he agreed to assist the Vale "in times of need", but he was not called into action for the club again.[1]
He went on to co-found English Wanderers and later played for Oxford City, South Nottingham, Southall and Brentford.[1] He also guested for Northern Nomads and Notts County.[1]
International career
editChapman made several appearances for the England amateur team between 1908 and 1910, netting 5 goals and being a member of the English amateur team that represented Great Britain at the football tournament of the 1908 Summer Olympics.[4] Chapman played in all three games as a midfielder and netted two goals, scoring once in a 12–1 trashing of Sweden in the quarter-finals and then clutching the opening goal of the final in a 2–0 win over Denmark, thus contributing decisively to England's triumph in London.[2] He also netted two unofficial goals, a brace in a 5–2 win over Wales on 20 February 1909.
