Herbert Leonard "Bertie" Rosier (21 March 1893 – 1 March 1939) was an English professional footballer who played as a left back. He appeared in the Football League for Brentford, Clapton Orient, Southend United and Fulham.

Career

Rosier began his career at Southall, moving to Southern League Division Two side Brentford with his brother in 1913.[3] A left back, Rosier's progress was halted by the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 and he went off to fight.[3] After the armistice, Rosier returned to Brentford and played in the successful London Combination title-winning side.[4] After Brentford's election to the Football League Division Three South, Rosier made his league debut for the club in a 3–0 defeat to Exeter City on 28 August 1920.[5] He went on to make 127 professional appearances for the club before departing in February 1923.[6] He later played for Clapton Orient, Southend United, Fulham and Folkestone.[7]

Personal

During the First World War, Rosier and his brother, Alfred, served with the Royal Sussex Regiment and both were captured by the Germans in July 1917 near Monchy-le-Preux.[2] Both brothers were interred in prisoner of war camps in Douai, Dülmen and Münster before being repatriated in November 1918.[2]
