I'm not available to do any more look ups in my book for the forseeable future so  any requests should be put up on separate threads.

I'll lock this one now.

Moderator comment: similar offers merged - perhaps you can split the work?

Hi i am new to this site but have a couple of record books for Professional footballers for English and Scottish teams from 1888 - 1939.

The records can show dates/places of births, teams played for and appearances.

I would be willing to look up these records for anyone who knows of a relative having played for a top British team of those times.

Hi

I would be interested to find out if you have any information on John Madden who played football for Dumbarton and Celtic among others between 1885 and 1905.  Thanks for the offer.

From what i can gather he was better known as Jake.

Another (older) resource lists his dob as 11.6.1865.

A small biography of him
2 caps v Wales he scored 4 goals in his Scottish debut on Sat 18 March 1893 at the Racecourse ground and another goal in his only other appearance for Scotland again at the Racecourse (Wrexham) v Wales.
One of the first players to go to Europe : to the Slavia club in Prague and was still coaching there in the 1930's.
Club Honours Dumbarton Scottish Cup Finalist 1887
Celtic League Champions 1893,1894,1896
Scottish Cup Winner 1892 (1st game only) Finalist 1893,1894
Centre Forward with much experience at Outside Right too. Neat and Clever in action and extremely dangerous when, by the early 1890's, an early inclination to indifferent finishing had been rectified. Not very big.

I would be interested to see any photos you have of him in football dress or in a team.

Hi  :)

I'm not sure if you've seen this thread:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,259492.0.html


but as your offer refers to England and Scotland, it would be best if it was put on a different board.

Hi

Thank you for that I knew some of them, but to see it all written down is really good.  I would be happy to send you the photographs I have if you want to send me an e-mail.
