Alex Latta

Scottish footballer

Alexander Latta (1 September 1867, 25 August 1928) was a Scottish footballer who made ten appearances, mostly at outside right, in Everton's Football League title-winning side of 1890-91. Latta began his career with Dumbarton Athletic as a 14-year-old but moved to Everton in 1889. He was a tall and stocky outside right who displayed great pace and dribbling skills.

Latta played twice for Scotland during his career. His debut came in the 5-1 defeat of Wales on 10 March 1888, in which he scored twice; he was the only serving player from Dumbarton Athletic (not to be confused with Dumbarton) to have been selected for international duty.
