Johnny Madden

John William Madden (11 June 1865 – 17 April 1948) was a Scottish footballer who played for Dumbarton, Gainsborough Trinity, Grimsby Town, Celtic, Dundee, Tottenham Hotspur and the Scotland national team.

Playing career
At Celtic, where he played for eight years, he won the Scottish Cup in 1892 (also losing in two other finals, adding to a defeat with Dumbarton in 1887) and the Scottish Football League title in 1892–93, 1893–94 and 1895–96, playing a leading role in their establishment as one of the leading clubs in the country, though he had been on the verge of leaving to join Sheffield Wednesday before professional contracts were officially introduced in Scottish football in 1893.

He was capped twice by Scotland in 1893 and in 1895, both against Wales. He scored four times in an 8–0 win over Wales in March 1893. He also played for Dumbartonshire (3 caps / 4 goals), Glasgow (3 caps / 1 goal) and the Scottish Football League XI (4 caps / 2 goals).

Managerial career
Between 1905 and 1930, Madden was the manager of SK Slavia Praha, and is considered an important figure in the development of the sport in the Bohemia region (at that time another Scot, Johnny Dick, was in charge of Slavia's city rivals Sparta).

Early in his tenure, Madden won four Charity Cups (the first organized tournament in Czech lands) and became Czech champions in 1913, 1915, and 1918. He eventually lead Slavia to the Czechoslovak First League title in 1925 (the first organized national league), 1928–29, and 1929–30. His final match incharge was 3–2 defeat of their city rivals Sparta Prague. A result that meant Slavia retained the Czech title undefeated all season.

A stand at Slavia's Eden Arena is named after him, and each year a supporter group pays tribute at his grave in Prague, where he lived until his death. Madden earned the nickname "The Codger".

He took charge of the Bohemian team during the UIAFA European Championship in 1911, defeating the AFA England team 2–1 in the final.
