Obituary |
"DEATH OF MR. E. B. HAYGARTH.
"We
regret to announce the death of Mr. Edward Brownlow Haygarth, solicitor,
of Cirencester, which occurred at his residence, the Manor House,
Siddington, at 11.45 on Wednesday morning, at the age of 6[0] years. The
sad intelligence will be received by the general public in Cirencester and
the neighbourhood with unfeigned regret, though little surprise, Mr.
Haygarth's health and strength having been failing for some time. About
six months ago he underwent an operation and rest in a nursing home, the
success of which enabled his return home and resumption of his legal
practice and public duties. Of these he performed not a few. Taking an
active part in the administration of town affairs, he was for long a
member of the Urban District Council, and succeeded Mr. Henry Zachary as
Chairman of the Council. On Mr. O. H. Fowler coming into public life and
popularity, Mr. Haygarth retired from the office of Chairman, only to
resume it last year on the death of Mr. Fowler. To his fellow members Mr.
Haygarth was always a most agreeable associate, and to the town a very
faithful and competent servant. It was at the meeting of the Urban Council
in March that Mr. Haygarth made his last appearance in public, and
conducted the business with his accustomed smartness and decision, though
to all those present his enfeebled physical condition was apparent.
"In his early years Mr. Haygarth was a good athlete and sportsman. He
captained the Cirencester Cricket Club for many years and was a player of
much excellence. He served in the local corps of Rifle Volunteers as
lieutenant, and was a most popular officer in the palmy and declining days
of the movement. A devotee of golf, Mr. Haygarth had much to do with the
foundation of the Cirencester Golf Club, and undertook the secretarial
duties. He was very well and widely known as the secretary of the
Cirencester Independent Association for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, being its first official and chief administrator of the affairs
of the Association since the death of its founder (Mr. Robert Brewin).
"A son of the Rev. John [Sayer] Haygarth, first Principal of the Royal
Agricultural College, the deceased became associated with the institution,
and held the office of secretary at the time of his death. In all public
matters for the welfare and improvement of Cirencester and its
institutions, Mr. Haygarth was active and solicitous. Accessible at all
times, he was ever courteous and helpful to all who sought his information
and advice, and no man in Cirencester was held in greater respect.".

|
club notes |
All record books show Haygarth as a player
with Swifts FC, a club based in Slough, but Reading FC have a strong claim
to be credited instead. In those early, amateur days players were
not tied to one club and the better players, which Haygarth certainly was,
tended to pick and chose who they would play for, depending on the
attractiveness of the fixture. Even so Haygarth was a regular for
Reading for several years either side of his international appearance.
Thanks to research by former Supporters' Club chairman, Roger Titford,
Haygarth certainly played for Swifts at the beginning of 1875 but he then
played twice for Reading, including a game against Southall the Saturday
before the international, 27 February 1875. Indeed, one contemporary
report of the international refers to him as 'the Reading captain'. One possible reason for Reading being unjustly omitted as Haygarth's club
was that we were not members of the FA at that time. - Reading FC
