Such a short but action packed life. I'm a bit surprised I'd not come across his name before.

And what's this famous cup victory against Arsenal. We need to be told more.

Fascinating stuff. A player I’d never heard of. What struck me was he’d rescued a child from the Grand Junction Canal - one of 3 rescues he’d made. Was life so grim in Edwardian (?) London people of all ages were throwing themselves in the canal? Maybe the towpaths were treacherous back then. Or the only chance for a swim.

Won 2-0. I have a card from the game played Jan 7th 1922 K.O. 1.45pm at Highbury . They were then known as The Arsenal. Admission was 4d (2p) Adults and 1d (1/2p) Boys. No mention of girls.

Wow what a piece of memorabilia - must be worth something. Any chance of taking a photo and posting it here?
