Notes
Abbott made 291 appearances
(3
goals) for Everton after joining the club from Small Heath in 1899. A left-half,
he was renowned for his stamina and energy although, strangely enough, his one
England cap came at centre-half! Abbott played in both the 1906 and 1907 FA Cup
finals and also represented the Football League. He moved to Burnley in the
summer of 1908. - EvertonFC.com
