 * Fred Gardner (cricketer) has the exact same details, unusual that Kent didn't add that he was a cricketer. But there we are.--EchetusXe (talk) 18:46, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Paul West
Good work so far! Just to let you know, Paul West never made a league appearance for Bradford City, but made 3 league apps for Wigan between 1993 and 1995 before moving to non-league Morecambe. Regards, GiantSnowman 00:41, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that!--EchetusXe (talk) 08:48, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Erza Horton
His actual name was Ezra Horton, three times FA Cup finalist with WBA. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 05:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC) Ah, nice one. thnx.--EchetusXe (talk) 08:48, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

E Chadwick and Eric Jones
Great job, mate! E. Chadwick could be Edgar Chadwick. Also, does your Eric Jones is Eric Norbert Jones? If so, he coached in Switzerland and Belgium: perfectly notable.--Latouffedisco (talk) 10:37, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * hmm, no E.Chadwick was at Vale whilst Edgar was playing for Everton. And not quite, Eric Norman Jones, though he did coach in the Netherlands so even if they are different people he should still be notable. thnx!--EchetusXe (talk) 12:40, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Eric Norman Jones played in the Football League for Wolves, Portsmouth, West Brom (but only the 3 games at the start of the abandoned 39/40 season), and Crewe. Though the very slight difference in middle names very probably doesn't make them different people, just differently-researched people. Struway2 (talk) 12:56, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Eric Norbert Jones coached BSC Young Boys from 1949 to 1951 and K. Beerschot V.A.C. from 1953 to 1955. So we have two individuals here...But are you sure it was Eric Norman Jones who coached De Graafschap? I think it must be Eric Norbert. I've performed a quick search at allfootballers.com, there are 3 Eric Jones. If you know someone with a registration who could disambiguate their career, it would help us a lot.Cheers.--Latouffedisco (talk) 15:58, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the book has always been right for me. I'll put this message in the talk page I have going so someone can check if they have access to that site.--EchetusXe (talk) 16:05, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

The three Eric Jones listed on allfootballers.com, are Eric John Jones, born March 1938, played for Coventry 1956-1961; Eric Jones born June 1931, played for Preston NE, Nottingham Forest and others between 1949 and 1962 and Eric Norman Jones born 5 February 1915, died 1985 whose clubs are as listed by Struway above. The site never gives details of management careers, so is not of much help in separating Eric Norman and Eric Norbert. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 16:14, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * OK great, I'll make the Eric Norman article and see what happens about Norbert.--EchetusXe (talk) 18:09, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * So they are one and the same. The one born in 1915. Great.Thanks Daemonic Kangaroo.--Latouffedisco (talk) 18:15, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Edward Didymus
He played three league games for Blackpool in 1909–10. His debut was at Oldham Athletic on 11 December (2–0 defeat). The other two were consecutive games against Leeds City (away, 27 December, lost 3–1; home, 1 January, won 3–1). Reference: - Dudesleeper /  Talk  14:42, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * He also played in the Southern League for Portsmouth and Northampton Town. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 14:58, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * He was listed as Fred Didymus in list of Blackpool F.C. players, but I wasn't sure how accurate that was, so I amended it to Edward. - Dudesleeper / Talk  16:17, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * According to allfootballers.com, he was Fred Edward Didymus, born 13/04/1886, date of death not recorded.  Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 16:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

 * This Syd Owen (Alfred Sydney Owen) was an England amateur international, who played for several clubs, including Stoke and Leicester. Not to be confused with the Syd Owen who was a full England international, although they may well have been related.  Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 15:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Great, I will make that then--EchetusXe (talk) 18:09, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Billy Rowley
or Bill Rowley was an England international (see ), who had a long career at Stoke. I may well put together an article on him. Cheers. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 15:48, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, might make a start myself if I get round to it. Got about a dozen lines worth of info in the book.- Thnx for your help!-EchetusXe (talk) 18:09, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm currently working this up on my sandbox. i'll endeavour to finish it tomorrow.  Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:28, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Finished.  Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:07, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

George Shutt
George Shutt was also an England player (one appearance in 1886), so I'll create an article on him over the weekend, unless you get their first. Cheers. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:24, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'll start, have a few hours free.--EchetusXe (talk) 09:29, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Billy Reynolds & Butterworth
I'm not sure this is our guy but a William Reynolds coached BSC Young Boys (again) in the 1910's.--Latouffedisco (talk) 18:43, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I found a Butterworth coaching Hammarby IF in 1920.--Latouffedisco (talk) 18:55, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Could well be the same Butterworth, no idea if its the same Reynolds, no info on him past 1892.--EchetusXe (talk) 21:08, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Jack Cameron
is the redlinked John Cameron (St. Mirren) at the John Cameron disambiguation page. Scotland international  and nearly 200 games for Chelsea, who incidentally call him Jock Cameron, as does Joyce's book. Struway2 (talk) 19:14, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * and Mick Fenton is Micky Fenton . Struway2 (talk) 19:22, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
