Obituary

Chilwell Manor Golf Club, founded by Edwin Luntley" A NOTED FORESTER―DEATH OF MR. EDWIN LUNTLEY.
"The death took place last night of Mr. Edwin Luntley, a former celebrated Nottingham Forest football player.
"The deceased, who was 64 years of age, started his football with the old Lace and Notts. Castle clubs, and in 1878 joined the Forest
. The club had just entered for the Association up, and for two seasons they went through the competition to the semi-final.
"Mr. Luntley was a splendid back, and he got his international cap both for Scotland and Wales matches.
"In his day he was one of the best batsmen in local cricket, and more than once was top scorer in the Lace and Hosiery match―a noted one in those times. In the early 80's lacrosse was introduced to the district, and he was one of the first to play at Radcliffe along with the Dafts, J. F. Bishop, and others.
"Later Mr. Luntley turned his attention to golf, and was one of the founders of the Chilwell Manor Club. He had been in indifferent health for many years, suffering from Bright's disease."
