Birthplace
editAccording to other sources he was born in Ayr in Scotland, lfchistory have it wrong. Govvy (talk) 10:05, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- per [1] and Luton player guide. But it might be wrong. Govvy (talk) 10:56, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Playupliverpool.com has a very detailed article that is supposedly from a joint Everton & Liverpool Programme from november 9, 1907. There it is stated that he was born in Everton. There is a forum at scottishleague.net where several users tried to establish where he was born and they don't seem to have found any evidence he was born in Scotland but seem to have found evidence that he was at least in Liverpool at the age of three months according to the 1881 census. Of course, we can't use that as a source for this but maybe we should leave it empty for a bit until we can find some contemporary sources? Alvaldi (talk) 11:03, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
Picture
editThere is a picture of him found here that originally comes from the Athletic News (18 January 1909, page 5) that might not be copyrighted anymore. Alvaldi (talk) 11:18, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- I saw that blog post, says he was born in Liverpool on it too, maybe there is also a cigarette card with his image on that can be used. Govvy (talk) 11:42, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
