Correct! Great call!
He was always considered to be too small.
He played non league to well into his 40s,and lived opposite the Catholic Church in Stainy.

Ted Smethurst possibly.
I always thought he was from Moorends JPT. Didn't he play against us in the cup at Scarborough 1972. I'll ask his nephew big Kev.

This is definitely trivia. I've had it on good authority (neighbour) that Ted was born at Park Road Moorends.
