Alfred Charles Crowle
From History of Mexican Futbol website (see below):
One of the greatest legends of Mexican football is undoubtedly Alfred C Crowle who would have great relevance in the formation of Mexican football.
Born in England, Crowle arrived in Mexico as a mining technician, taking advantage of the facilities that General Porfirio Díaz granted to English
companies wishing to invest in the country.
As a pastime the English practiced soccer, whose hobby was extended as the migration increased, eventually forming clubs on a regular basis.
Alfred C. Crowle would be one of the founders of the Pachuca Athletic Club.
One of his first great contributions was to bring the rules of the game to the country, a merit he shares with another pair of legends:
Percy Clifford and Robert J. Blackmoore.
After reaching a league championship and two titles as champion scorer, Crowle would retire from football as a player, focusing his efforts on
teaching young nationals the secrets of the game.
Under Alfred C Crowle's command, of peculiar style by the way, the Club America potentiated its basic forces, leaving the seed for the
appearance of many figures. Later it would mark time directing to the Necaxa, becoming the authentic creator of "the eleven brothers".
For the year 1935, Crowle commanded the Mexican team that won the title of the Central American Games, the first international Mexican soccer conquest.
Alfred C Crowle would remain linked to national soccer for many years, cooperating in the training of coaches and referees, along with his
English friends.
