Steve Bloomer (20 January 1874, Cradley, Worcestershire – 16 April 1938, Derby) was an English forward, who is remembered as one of the great figures of late-Victorian and Edwardian football. Bloomer remains a legend at Derby County and the club anthem, ‘Steve Bloomer's Watchin' is played before every home game. During a career with Derby County and Middlesbrough, he was first choice for England, scoring 28 goals in 23 Home Internationals - in fact Bloomer scored in his first ten games for England. His most famous feat was during a match between England and Scotland, when he found the back of the net with a left-footed strike from the centre circle. His League career lasted from 1892 to 1914 and was distinguished by an impressive 353 goals in 598 games (292 goals for Derby in 473 matches). He was also able to shoot powerfully and accurately with either foot:  his specialty was the daisy cutter - a low shot, hit with great power, speed and accuracy. While playing for County he was the leading scorer for 14 consecutive seasons and scored 17 hat-tricks in the league.On 15 March 1906 Bloomer joined Middlesbrough for a fee of £750. He was top-scorer at Middlesbrough in both the 1906–07 and 1907–08 seasons.  After four years at Middlesbrough he returned to the Rams in 1910 and helped them win the Second Division title in 1912.  Bloomer later worked as a coach in Germany and was interned at Ruhleben, a civilian detention camp, during the First World War.  Immediately after the war he coached in the Netherlands and in 1923 he became coach of Real Unión in Spain. In 1924 he guided them to victory in the Copa del Rey, beating FC Barcelona in the semi-finals and then Real Madrid in the final. After returning to England he served as player-coach with Derby Reserves, worked as a newspaper columnist and as a groundsman at the Baseball Ground.
