Harold Payne Hardman (4 April 18829 June 1965) was an English amateur footballer.

Born in the Kirkmanshulme area of Newton Heath, Manchester, he was discovered by Blackpool as a schoolboy and thrown into the first team during their season in exile from the Football League in 1899-1900. He made his League debut on 8 September, 1900, in a home draw against Gainsborough Trinity, the first competitive game played at Blackpool's Bloomfield Road ground. He became almost an ever-present for the club over the next three years.

An outside-left, Hardman had the ability to switch flanks and sometimes played on the right wing. He possessed speed and a knack for trickery, and although not a regular goalscorer himself, he provided the final pass for many of the goals scored by Bob Birkett and Jack Parkinson. Blackpool, however, as a whole, were a team struggling in the Second Division, and they found it too difficult to hold onto him.

In 1903, he signed for Everton for a fee of £100. He played for the Toffees in the 1906 and 1907 FA Cup Finals before joining Manchester United in 1908, the year he became a member of the British team at the Olympics. Britain won the gold medal in the football tournament.

Hardman later played for Bradford City, during their first two seasons in Division One, and Stoke City.

International career

Hardman also made four appearances for the full England team, all while with Everton, between 1905 and 1908, scoring once (against Ireland).

Later years and death

After his playing days ended, he became a well-known administrator and, later, director of Manchester United. He eventually became a solicitor in Manchester, where he died in 1965 at the age of 83.
