I too would feel very proud that my family had played for football clubs, even ones who I see as big rivals.
And Uncle Willie played for my hometown team! I wonder if my late Granddad would have remembered him as he would attend weekly and likely during that period.
Lovely share, thanks for this :)
Oooh, which team?
Macclesfield Town.
I'm 40 and so he was a bit before my time but my granddad would have been 92 this year. Perhaps my Uncle was old enough, (62 this year) I'll have to ask.
Ah, good old Macclesfield. I have friends from there and spent most of my younger days growing up in Crewe. Small world, huh?
Very small. There aren't many Brits on Steem, < 100 on the last rough count!
