Joseph Morris Bates (22 May 1864 – 6 September 1905), usually known as Morris Bates, was an English footballer. Bates first played as an amateur for Nottingham Forest, before moving south to London to take up work at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich (along with former teammate Fred Beardsley). There, he met several other keen football fans, including Jack Humble and David Danskin, and together they formed Dial Square Football Club in 1886; the club were soon renamed Royal Arsenal, and are today known simply as Arsenal. Bates continued to officiate as an umpire at some of Forest's games; with Fred Beardsley, he was responsible for obtaining a set of red kit from their old club Forest, giving Arsenal the colours they still wear.

  • Joseph Morris Bates (* 22. Mai 1864 in Nottingham; † 6. September 1905 in Woolwich, London) war ein englischer Fußballspieler und 1886 Gründungsmitglied des „Dial Square Football Clubs“, dem Vorläufer des heute weltbekannten FC Arsenal. Bates erlernte das Fußballspielen in seiner Heimatstadt bei Nottingham Forest und zog später nach London, um dort gemeinsam mit seinem ehemaligen Mannschaftskameraden Fred Beardsley bei dem Rüstungsfabrikanten Royal Arsenal eine neue Arbeitsstelle anzutreten. Bates traf dort auf zahlreiche Fußballinteressierte, zu denen auch und David Danskin zählten; gemeinsam gründete man 1886 den „Dial Square Football Club“, der nur kurze Zeit später in „Royal Arsenal“ umbenannt wurde und heute als „Arsenal Football Club“ (deutsch: „FC Arsenal“) bekannt ist. Bei den Spielen von Nottingham Forest diente er weiter als Schiedsrichter (genauer: als „Umpire“, der mehr als „Schiedsstelle“ diente) und besorgte während einer dieser Reisen nach Nottingham gemeinsam mit Fred Beardsley einen Satz roter Trikots und prägte damit die Farbgebung des Klubs, die heute noch Gültigkeit besitzt. Insgesamt spielte der erste Mannschaftskapitän des Klubs 73 Spiele für Royal Arsenal, die meisten davon als Verteidiger. Dazu gehörte auch am 5. Oktober 1889 das erste FA-Cup-Spiel des Klubs gegen den . Zu den Stärken des „Iron Man“ zählte vor allem der Kopfball und in seine Zeit fielen mit dem Gewinn des Kent Senior Cups und des London Charity Cups im Jahr 1890 die ersten beiden Titel in der Vereinschronik. Ab dem Sommer des Jahres 1890 war Bates nicht mehr in der ersten Mannschaft von Royal Arsenal vertreten und mit 36 Jahren beendete er endgültig seine Karriere. Im Unterschied zu vielen anderen Gründungsvätern blieb er dem Klub nicht erhalten und er arbeitete vielmehr in der Rüstungsfabrik weiter, wo er sich auf Maxim-Maschinengewehre spezialisierte. Im Alter von nur 41 verstarb Bates an Tuberkulose. (de)

Bates continued to officiate as an umpire at some of Forest's games; with Fred Beardsley, he was responsible for obtaining a set of red kit from their old club Forest, giving Arsenal the colours they still wear. Bates played 73 first-team matches for Royal Arsenal, mainly as a full-back, in the FA Cup (including the Gunners' very first FA Cup tie, against Lyndhurst on 5 October 1889) and various regional competitions. Bates went on to become Arsenal's captain and earned the nickname "The Iron Man", with a reputation for his powerful heading of the ball, in an era when footballs were far heavier and more dangerous to head than they are now. He skippered Arsenal to their first trophy wins – the Kent Senior Cup and London Charity Cup in 1890. Bates was 36 by the time of the cup wins and decided he was getting too old for the game; he quit playing for the Royal Arsenal first team in the summer of 1890. Unlike Beardsley or Danskin, he did not maintain his association with the club after retiring, as no mention of him is made in subsequent records. He continued to work at the Royal Arsenal, specialising in Maxim guns, until his death from tuberculosis at 41. (en)
