He was also one of many players who who gave their lives in the 1WW and his name was read out during the ceremony last Saturday v Brentford.

Jesus 1st day..........I heard of soldiers not even getting to fire a shot in anger before being killed.....Boys, just kids.
Imagine some of these namby pamby w**kers today being asked to do the same......I sometimes imagine myself
being asked.....Have to say not sure i could live up to these brave MEN even the 18 yo and younger men.
