Hi folks

As a confirmed soccerphobe who is dreading the forthcoming world cup I find
it difficult to make this post! Is there someone of the opposite persuasion
who could supply a couple of addresses please.

My Grandmother's 1st husband (killed in 1918) was Fred "Ginger" LESSONS who
was captain of Nott'm Forest around 1910 and was playing for Northampton
Town at the outbreak of WW1. He is distinguished on my family tree as being
the only one (so far) to have his death announced in "The Times". Does
anyone have the addresses of these 2 football clubs or any information
regarding pre-war players.

Many thanks
Brian Richerby
