Cheddleton Asylum Football Team

[alf]

Can any person point me in the correct direction as to where I can find out about this football team.

I have a Private, Sidney Graham Creech who was killed in action who appears to have been a footballer for the asylum. He is commemorated on the Asylum war memorial which is now in Cheddleton Church.

Alf
