Inclement weather coming up.......It could be worse! I can't identify this ground and crowd but it must have been an attractive game to gather such a dedicated crowd. Below is...........a brave soul......
Billy Mercer of Huddersfield Town at the old Leeds Road ground in 1925. Yes, you guessed, Billy was a goalkeeper playing in the successful Town First Division team between 1923-6. Previously he spent 10 years at Hull City playing nearly 200 games in the 2nd Division and then at Blackpool in 1928, his last club. Born in Prescot, Liverpool, in 1892, he died in 1956. Luckily for Billy, he avoided drowning in that goalmouth!Just a short one today because I am off to Manchester to visit the National Football Museum. if you haven't been then GO!
