| HB Rich was obviously quite a sportsman. What a care free life of riley people of that class lead back then; playing at it! Interestingly, it was considered bad sportsmanship to practise or train for your sport back then. A trainer would have been a complete No No; like the caption in the photo: Trainer: none.
Does anyone know if any of the players from that first FA Cup Final team served in the AZW? |
