Lester Charles Finch (26 August 1909 – 20 November 1995) was an English football player and manager, best known for his long association with Barnet,[1] and for representing Great Britain at the 1936 Summer Olympics.[2][3] He started his career at Hadley before moving to local rivals Barnet.[4]

He also represented England in 1941 during a match against Wales, but he was not awarded a cap as the game was classified as a Wartime international match.[5]
