Edwin Robert Herrod (1866–1918), born in Radford, Nottingham, was an English footballer who played as a forward. As a 15-year-old, he lived in Derby earning his living as a gimp maker. After moving from Derby St Luke's, he became a top scoring winger for Doncaster Rovers in the Midland Alliance for the 1890–91 season, netting 14 times in all League and cup games. This attracted attention from Leicester Fosse from the Midland League who signed him in September 1891.
