Talk:Bill Harvey (footballer, born 1896)

Untitled
Soccerbase also states that he managed Luton Town from 1962 to 64 and Grimsby Town from 1968 to 69, but I find it extremely hard to believe that this could be the same Bill Harvey - a 23 year gap in one man's management career seems unlikely (admittedly, not impossible, but unlikely nonetheless.....)

 * Scrub that, putting my own interpretation on it is of course OR, have to go with what the source says..... ChrisTheDude 08:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Here is a reliable source that says that Bill Harvey the Luton/Grimsby manager died in 2002 aged 82, which would have made him 12 in 1932 - I very much doubt that Chesterfield would have appointed a 12 year old manager, therefore it is not the same man....

I've heard today from a relative of Bill's who says that Bill died in North Shields; while unspecific with a date it is clear that his Bill Harvey is our man, which finally knocks the idea of a South African death on the head. If I can get more I'll add it to the main page.
