Old City players 1905-1920

[John - 0]

Morning all.

I''m just wondering if there are any old school Norwich City FC history buffs out there who could help me out with identifying the following players.

I''m after Christian names and any spelling corrections.

Any help, suggestions or advice would be much appreciated!!

Cheers - John.

With pleasure, John.

The following information comes from "Glorious Canaries" by Mike Davage.  There''s a biography of each player as well if you''re interested.  I think it''s still obtainable from the club shop.

1905      BUSHELL, William      MUIR, Robert      BROWN, George Gerald      GRAHAM, Samuel

1909      GOOCH - the only Gooch I can find is Percy George but he was a centre forward, 1903-7 and 1909-10

               CRAIG, Charles Thomson      CHAMBERS, Herbert      NEWLANDS, George      RAYNER, William Thomas

1910      DRUCE, Walter      CHICK, John William      GUNTON, Samuel Arthur      TAYLOR, Walter Joseph

1911      FELL, George      POTTER, Cecil Bertram

1912      PEARSON, James Henry      WOODLAND (no S), Arthur      BAUCHOP, William Fotheringham       HUGHES, William J

1913      SUTCLIFFE, Percy      TRAVIS, Aaron

1919/20   SKERMER, Herbert Edward      GROVES, John William      HALL, Fretwell      LAXTON, Edward George       KIRK, Walter Edward      

                TAYLOR - can''t find any Taylor for 1919/20, the nearest is William, outside right 1931    

Hope this helps.

Thanks chaps - I take my hat off to you both.

I wasn''t quite expecting such a reply so soon, but it''s certainly helped me clear up a few loose ends.

I''ll certainly be looking to purchase a copy of that book in the not too distant future from the club shop.

I actually missed out the 1913-14 list I had - This would really be the icing on the cake!!

1913-14
Bell - Defender
Macdonald, Wilson - Wingers
Ritchie - Forward
Valiant - Centre-Half
Valentine - Inside Forward

Once again, many thanks.

There''s no Michael Ryan listed in the book, YR.  It does not guarantee to be 100% complete but where there are gaps they are usually much earlier.

Also it only includes players who made at least one first team appearance, not those who only played for the reserves.
