Lancashire / Robert McArthur - Amateur Footballer Nottingham Forest
« on: Friday 17 May 24 20:38 BST (UK) »
Dear All
I am looking for information regarding my Grandad, Robert McArthur, born 11 Sep 1906 Lesmahagow, Lanarkshire, moved to Astley in Greater Manchester around 1934, married Agnes Millar Purdie April 1935. He died 9 Jun 1957 in Astley. Alas I never knew him but I am told he played football for Nottingham Forrest, maybe as a reserve or an amateur. However I have never seen any information regarding this, so maybe just an anecdote but I would like to explore the idea, any newspaper cuttings or records.
However after 1939 Census I am struggling to locate any information about him.
Regards
Ian
