George Travers
Actually, several sources refer to George Travers' full name as being "James Edward Travers", including "Football League Players' Records 1888 to 1939" by Michael Joyce and "Manchester United: The Football Facts" by Dean Hayes. – PeeJay 11:12, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Michael Joyce also runs the 'since1888' website and - as a result of my research - has changed the entry for George Travers, including both the previously accepted birth and death dates. Dean Hayes is not a researcher - he just extracts supposed 'facts' produced in other books, without verifying them. In brief, I located George's marriage certificate, which obviously stated his real names - and then traced him to New Zealand, from where I purchased a copy of his death certificate. So the 'died in Smethwick 1946' is utter nonsense.Paplo9 (talk) 17:06, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
