ned doig

john edward ` ned ' doig -lrb- 29 october 1866 -- 7 november 1919 -rrb- was a scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper .
he played the peak of his career for sunderland , in a period of time in the club 's history where they were dubbed the ` team of all talents ' .
noted for his exceptional performances in goal , he was also famously shy of his bald head , and always wore a cap .
if during a football game the cap blew off at any point , he would chase after it rather than concentrate on the game .
