I have Googled Derby football club , but they do not seem to have any archives of previous players. so I presume he was not famous enough to make the headlines. Not like today ,being paid too much and made into celebrities. :roll:

Sometimes the Gods are just on your side and nothing the oposition do will change that. North Eastern League side Darlington were outclassed for almost this entire game but they dug in and defended as if their life depended on it, breaking out just once to allow Alec Fraser the opportunity to give the visitors a shock half tim lead. In the second half United attacked with even more vigour and their reward seemed to come when James Taylor felled Joe Kitchen in the penalty area. Tommy Simmons took it and blasted the ball off the crossbar. 12,000 crammed into Feethams to see Bradford {Park Avenue} beaten 2-1 with Alec Fraser again netting to sensationally take the team into the third round where Swindon proved to good by three goals.

Sheffield United: 1:Joe Mitchell, 2:Joe Smith, 3:Bob Benson, 4:Bill Brelsford, 5:Albert Trueman, 6:Albert Sturgess, 7:Joe Kitchen, 8:Jim Simmons, 9:Billy Gllespie, 10:Tommy Simons, 11:Bobby Evans

Doncaster Rovers: James Taylor, Bannister, Alec Fraser



1911 Season dont know if its him ?

Thank you both . Even if its not him (which I hope it is ) It gives me an idea as to what it was like to be a footballer then. My grandad use to play for a team in Dudley. They won loads of medals, which my brother now has. I will have to find out more about it all Thank you very much :grin:
