Tony, I think the most fascinating story of all would be about how you find this information. Where in the world would you have located a description of an 1892 referee's decision to abandon a game in the dark?

I'd be very interested to know how these long-ago players come to your attention, and how you are able to research them in such detail.

Again, great stuff Tony.

By the way for anyone thinking 'Chinese in the first world war?'

Hey Tony, do you remember a pretty mediocre forward we had in the '50s named Oscar Hold?

Trevor, I was only a child when Hold last played for Everton but I can just about remember him because it was the year we were relegated to Division Two. Mind you it was not all his fault but, I think, he joined QPR next season.
Oscar, was born in the Rhubarb Triangle of West Yorkshire and began his playing career, while in the army? at Aldershot. He joined Everton from Nottingham County. He later became a well respected coach and worked in Cyprus and Turkey, before returning tom England.
