Noel Euchuria Cornelius Cantwell (28 February 1932 - 8 September 2005) was an Irish cricketer and football player born in County Cork, Irish Free State. He was educated at the Roman Catholic Presentation Brothers College in Cork. Cantwell played as a full-back for Western Rovers, Cork Athletic, West Ham United, and Manchester United. While at West Ham, he featured in the London XI side that competed in the 1955-58 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup final on 1 May 1958. He captained the Hammers to winning the Division Two championship in the 1957-58 season and thereby leading the club into the top flight for the first time since 1930. In November 1960, Cantwell joined Manchester United for £29,500 which at the time was a record for a full back. He helped the club win the 1965 and 1967 league titles and captained United when winning the 1963 FA Cup Final - just as his fellow countryman Johnny Carey had done in United's previous FA Cup win 15 years earlier. He also served as Chairman of the Professional Footballers Association.
