I am doing some research on this player from the 1890s and into the
early 20th century. He was noted for his tremendous throw ins, he
was on 3 championship Sunderland teams (1892, 1893, 1895)at one point
he was considered the most dominate player on the most dominate team.
I have read some things about having to change the rule because of his
throw-ins, but from what I can find the throw-in rule was established
around 1872. Can anybody shed some light on this. also looking for
photos of him from his playing days in the Bristol area, thanks.
