Segar Richard Bastard (25 January 1854 a?? 20 March 1921) was an English amateur football player and referee. Born in Bow, London, Bastard played for the now-defunct Upton Park football club, between 1873 and 1887; he also played for Trojans and Leyton and occasionally guested for the Corinthians. Like many of his contemporaries, he was both a player and a referee at the same time, unlike the modern day, where referees are neutrals with no playing connections. He refereed the 1878 FA Cup Final between Wanderers and Royal Engineers at the Kennington Oval, before refereeing the first ever England v. Wales match, at the Oval on 18 January 1879.
