Career
Huntson is listed as having scored one goal for Brooklyn in the 1923–24 season.[1] He made his international debut for the Irish Free State on 16 June 1924 in a friendly against the United States. This game would be the Irish Free State's first-ever international match on home turf. A crowd of just under 4,000 spectators at Dalymount Park witnessed Ed Brooks score a hattrick in a 3–1 win for the home side.[2] This would be Huntson's only cap for Ireland at senior level.
