Hi again and thank you.

I've posted in the common room.

I had to reduce the quality of the photos so that I could upload them, which is a shame.

Hi Gadget,

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you but I now have the names of the men .  John McCann, played for Celtic 1893 1895 and Hibs later.  Also Edward McCann who played for Celtic 1893. Both went on to play for clubs down south, one at Newcastle United and  one at Preston North end.

Any info would be great.

Many thanks,
Lynda

Hi Lynda

I've been through all the McCanns and I can't find them. It could be that they didn't play in the (English) Football League first teams 

Simon might be abole to find something for the Preston North End one.


Sorry.


Regards

Hi Gadget:

May I ask for any information you may have on the career of one George Stabb, born 1912 in Paignton?  I believe he played for Torquay and Bradford Park Avenue in the 1920s-late 1930s. 

The menfolk would love to know more but this is an area about which I know less than nothing - let alone how to research it!

Thank you - Rachel
