He played for Ilkeston Town and turned out as a professional after the Second World War. I also know that the goalkeeper fifth man on the back row, his name is 'Marshall'. I know this as my dad knew all of the players and told me that I would know his daughter as she was in the same 'B' stream at Ilkeston Grammar School as I was."
