Beyond England |
|
Regarded as a player with
pace, this came from track experience - he had run both as an amateur and
professionally with some success, in an unusual variety of distances from
100 yards to a mile. Spent two seasons with Grimsby Town FC as a
trainer between June 1907 and May 1909. Died a little over a year later. -

Due to the fact that
many matches rarely stuck to exactly ninety minutes long, allowing time
for injuries, errors and substitutions. The minutes here
given can only ever be a guideline and cannot therefore be accurate, only
an approximation. |
