Hi Dee 

Had the same thing = call from sister 

What I'll do is enlarge them to a decent size and then send them to you as individual elements. The detail might be a bit pixellated but he will be able to touch the edges 

Simon is going to investigate my Dad's career now. I don't want to put up the details because of identifying me/my family.  Isn't he a great pal

The best!   

I have a larger file if that is any help.

OK - send me the larger file(s)  - think you have my e-mail.

Very interesting times 1890s-1920s in Football. The problem is that most of the info is on League Clubs only. For the other sides we mostly have to rely on some dedicated fan collecting everything at a local level.

Simon,

I need to clarify something please.....

One of the trophies on the photo will be for winning the league (maximum points)

We don't use that term with our football.....does it mean that the team won every game for the season?
