George Sage → George Sage (footballer) – Between the 19th century footballer and the 19th century federal judge (not to mention the similarly named physicist), it seems unlikely that there is a true primary topic here. I propose to move this page and create a disambiguation page at this title, unless I am missing some remarkable importance of the current occupant. bd2412 T 21:23, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Why not be bold and do it? GiantSnowman 12:55, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I am not sure whether there is some special significance to the footballer that I am missing, and would like to make sure of this before undertaking any action. bd2412  T 13:30, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't believe you are missing anything. A player in what was effectively a 'works' team in the infancy of pro football in East London. Seems to have had two 'documented' seasons and not much is known after 1897.--Egghead06 (talk) 18:54, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Support - suggest early close and do it. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:32, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not too concerned about waiting seven days in the context of the hundreds of years that this entry is likely to be at the resulting title. Cheers! bd2412  T 03:10, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Photo
I've taken the photo off as it now transpires that this is probably Fred Chamberlain. The lineup for the first TIW team photo was originally published in Iron in the Blood and has been widely reproduced. However, John Powles (the author) has done further research in the intervening years and has revised the line-up. This can be seen on Steve Marsh's site, at http://www.whu-programmes.co.uk/season-1895-96/4551432917. John is planning an article on these matters, but I thought it best to remove the incorrect one now. Nzd  (talk)  00:29, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
