Talk:David Thomson (footballer, born 1847)

Shropshire Wanderers
Thomson is shown on the player lists for the first international match as a Shropshire Wanderers player. I have not been able to find when he first played for them or whether he appeared in any of their FA cup matches from 1873 onwards, in which they reached the semi-finals in 1875. In the First Round of the 1876–77 tournament, Wanderers were drawn to play Druids, but Druids scratched. The match would have taken place in late October/early November. Thomson died in September 1876; it's interesting to speculate whether or not his death had any bearing on Druids' decision not to play the match, and if Thomson had not died, which of his two clubs he would have represented.

Baptism
With no full birth date being given, I have supplied a date for his baptism, stated in Shropshire Cricketers 1844-1998 by Tony Percival as "c[hristened] 5.11.1847" as being at Halesowen, Worcestershire, without a registered birth date or birthplace. The same situation occurred with his brother George in 1853. Both events prior to their removal to Wales.Cloptonson (talk) 21:06, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
