}}'''Henry Waugh Renny-Tailyour''' (9 October 1849 – 15 June 1920) was an [[Amateurism|amateur]] all-round sportsman who appeared for Scotland in some of the earliest international [[association football|football]] and [[rugby union]] matches, remaining to this day the only player to have represented the country in both codes. He also played [[first class cricket]] for [[Kent County Cricket Club]] and was an accomplished [[Track and field athletics|athlete]].

== Biography ==

Renny-Tailyour was born at [[Mussoorie]], [[United Provinces of Agra and Oudh|North-Western Provinces]] (now in [[Uttarakhand]]) in what was then [[British India]], while his Scottish father was serving in the army there. He grew up on the family estate at Newmanswalls, [[Montrose, Angus]], and was educated at [[Cheltenham College]] before entering the [[British Army]], joining the [[Royal Engineers]].<ref name=wisden21>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/228167.html Renny-Tailyour, Colonel Henry Waugh], Obituaries in 1921, ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack]]'', 1921.

Retrieved 2021-07-06.)</ref> A [[lieutenant]] at the time of his sporting achievements in the 1870s and 1880s, he served in [[New South Wales]], contributing to the publication of at least two reconnaissance maps of the [[Sydney]] area, and eventually reached the rank of [[colonel]].<ref>[http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article236156168 DEPARTURE OF COLONEL RENNY-TAILYOUR, R.E.], ''[[The Daily Telegraph (Sydney)|The Daily Telegraph]]'', 31 August 1894, p. 5.

Renny-Tailyour represented the [[Royal Engineers A.F.C.|Royal Engineers]] regimental team in the early days of organised football, when they were one of the strongest teams in England as a result of their innovative [[combination game]]. A forward, he played in the first [[FA Cup Final]] in [[FA Cup Final 1872|1872]], finishing on the losing side.<ref name=bbc28may15>Rostance T (2015)

The Engineers finally won the cup in 1875: 2–0, after a 1–1 draw, with Renny-Tailyour scoring in both matches against [[Old Etonians F.C.|Old Etonians]].<ref>[https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/BL/0001421/18750319/052/0004?browse=False The English Association Football Challenge Cup], ''Montrose, Arbroath and Brechin Review'', 19 March 1875, p. 4.

Renny-Tailyour was selected to represent [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] on two occasions. First he appeared against [[England national football team|England]] at [[The Oval]] in London on [[England v Scotland (1871)|17 November 1871]]. This match, however, is not regarded as an official international, the Scottish team being entirely composed of London area residents. Renny-Tailyour was selected again in 1873, when England hosted an official international between the two countries for the first time. His residence again proved to be a factor, as the fledgling [[Scottish Football Association]] was only able to fund eight players to travel to London. It was therefore necessary to supplement the team with three others based in the south. Renny-Tailyour's goal in Scotland's 4–2 defeat at The Oval gave him the honour of scoring Scotland's first international goal.

His family connections with Montrose led to him being appointed as the [[Montrose F.C.|local football club's]] Honorary President, 1887–88.
