During my tidy-up of my writing space I’ve rediscovered items I’ve used in my research over the years and thought I’d post some on here. Today here are a couple of images taken of parts of the Whalley Range AFC Diamond Jubilee Booklet. First a team photo from 1900-01. Anybody related to any of these players?
Next some text mentioning a game between Whalley Range and Manchester City:
I’ve checked the usually comprehensive records compiled by statistician Ray Goble (given to me shortly before his death) and there’s no mention of this game. I’ve also searched several newspapers looking for a report of it and haven’t yet found one (no doubt there’d be a report in a local newspaper in the Whalley Range area), proving that there are still many unknowns in City’s history.
If you enjoy all the free material on my website and would like to support my research and keep this website going (but don’t want to subscribe) then why not make a one-time donation (or buy me a coffee). All support for my research is valued and welcome. It allows me to keep some free material available for all. Thanks.
