Subject: My grandfather would wax lyrical about him - his photo suggests a man with whom you wouldn’t take liberties!
In reply to: b+w g. 's message, "Nostalgia shared, though surprised to see he only scored 5 times for us. Slightly understandable to have him confused with Moody but the real comparison would be with a player even I was too young to see --- Frank (Bonzo) Newton, who scored 70 in 70 for us in the early 1930s. His career before (not after) football included in the British army in India, sailing round the world in a cargo boat, as a Sergeant in the Calcutta Police and as an engineer on the East India Railway. Champion boxer too." on Monday, October 14, 08:35:30am

  • Yep, 5 goals in 19 games according to Wikipedia, so not as prolific as I first thought! I think my memory must have been distorted by him getting off to a very good start! I'm thinking he scored on his debut and then maybe a couple of goals in the next two or three games, so was looking like a 'goal a game' striker at the very beginning!
