Hi gadget,
im not sure if you still have access to the Football League Players' Records. Im looking for any info on my G.Grandfather, JAMES TILDESLEY. I know that he was born in 1881 in Halesowen. He played for Newcastle united, Middlesbrough and Leeds. Any info you could give me would be great.

Hi asolomio and welcome

I still have the listings but it's very small print so I'll have to get my magnifying glass out and get back to you - probably tomorrow if that's OK

Newcastle and Leeds -not sure about that

James (Jim) Tildesley

Right Back

Born: Halesowen: 07-10-1881

Jim began his career with his home town club Halesowen St John, before he joined First Division Newcastle United in February 1903. He played 21 league games + 1 FA Cup game before joining Middlebrough in September 1906. He played 23 league and 2 F.A. Cup games, but mainly spent time in the reserves before moving on to Leeds City in 1909. At Leeds he only played 5 league games and 1 FA Cup game, less than a year later he moved to non-league Luton Town

His brother Thomas Tildesley was also on Newcastles books

What other information do you require ??

Can I suggest you contact each individual club, most have a historian/archivist, who should be able to assist with further information and photographs

Kind regards

Simon

PS. My wife has a load of Halesowen Tildesleys in her tree

Hello Gadget
Could you please check if there are any details for Ernest Turner, born 1898 Brithdir, Glamorgan, played for Merthyr Town in the 1920s and Southampton around 1925. I would appreciate any info

Regards Roy

Hi Gadget
A request here that is very close to your limit of research but could you please check for Albert 'Bert' Hayes who played for Wolves & Wrexham during 1938/39

Best wishes
Roy

Getting the Hayes and Turners mixed up - nothing on the Bert Hayes. Could he have played after 1939
