Talk:Jack Baker (footballer, born 1878)

Image is of a different Jack Baker who also played with Geelong
The image appearing in this article is not of Jack Baker (footballer, born 1878) but of Jack Baker Sr. who also played with Geelong from 1889-92, 10 years before the subject of the article. More significantly, Jack Baker Sr. played with Carlton from 1882-88, was Champion of the Colony in 1883 and captain of Victoria against Tasmania in 1887. This is documented at https://www.blueseum.org/Jack+Baker where the complete version of the image appearing in this article is reproduced, making clear it is of the Carlton champion. As far as I am aware Jack Baker Sr. was not related to the subject of the article, John Robert Baker. However Jack Baker Sr.'s son, John Edward Baker, also played with Geelong from 1913-17 and has a Wikipedia stub article as Jack Baker Jr. --Gifford Goaler (talk) 16:28, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
