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
