Percy Cyril Lynsdale (Arabic: بيرسي لينزديل; 1 July 1928—1997) was an Iraqi footballer who played as a forward.

Born in Iraq to an Iraqi mother and a British father, Lynsdale was one of the first players to play for the Iraq national team. He played for Sharikat Naft Al-Basra and Al-Minaa at club level, before moving to England in 1951.

Early life

Lynsdale's roots lie in South London, then Surrey; one of his ancestors settled in India after joining the British Army in 1797.[1] One hundred years later, Lynsdale's father Cyril was born; he moved to Baghdad, Iraq shortly after World War I, and married an Iraqi woman, gaining Iraqi citizenship.[1]

Born in Baghdad, Lynsdale lived for a period in Mosul due to his father's job in the Iraqi Railway company.[1] In the early 1940s, Lynsdale studied at the Jesuit Baghdad College, and played football in the schoolyard.[1] He eventually became part of the college's first football team, captaining them in his first senior year.[1]

After graduating in 1948, Lynsdale and his family moved to the British community of Maqil, near Basra. Lynsdale found work as a clerk for the Basra Petroleum Company (B.P.C.).[2]

Career

While working for the B.P.C., Lynsdale played for their football team in the Basra League as an inside left.[1] He joined Al-Mina'a in 1950.[3]

In April 1951, Lynsdale played for the first Iraq national football team.[4][5] He was called by coach Dhia Habib to play in the team's international friendly,[4] against Turkey B in Turkey on 6 May 1951, which ended 7–0 for Turkey B.[4][5]

After the national team returned to Baghdad in 1951, Lynsdale and his international teammate Saeed Easho left to study abroad, and never returned to Iraq.[2] Lynsdale studied in Norwich, England, becoming a self-employed trader.[1] He played Sunday league football in Manchester.[1]

Lynsdale died in Chorley, in 1997.[6]
