Tottenham
editUnless there is another J H Burton, I believe this player first played for Tottenham, from 1900 to 1905. Govvy (talk) 14:00, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Govvy: The J H (Jack) Burton who played for Spurs was born in 1875, and signed for Derby County in 1896, when this one would only have been 11. There are three J H (Jack) Burtons who played league football:
- John Burton (footballer, born 1863) who played for Aston Villa;
- your one, born 1875, who played for Derby and Chatham before Spurs and was on the books of Preston after;
- and this one, John Burton (footballer, born 1885).
- I'll undo your change to the article. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:38, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
