Biography:
Born in Enniskillen, Harry Chatton moved to Scotland with his family as a child. A commanding centre-half, he was playing in the Scottish League with Partick Thistle when the IFA selectors first called him up in October 1924 for a Home Nations game with England. He won two further caps for the IFA, against Scotland the following February, and again against England in October 1925.
After
returning to play in Ireland with Shelbourne, Chatton was selected by the FAI for a game against Spain on 26th April 1931. That summer he returned to Scotland to play for Dumbarton and on 13th December he captained the FAI’s team in the return game against Spain. Chatton’s third and final FAI cap was won in 1934, whilst playing for Cork, in a 5-2 defeat by Holland. His first two caps had been as left-half, and the last at right-back.Wikipedia
