Ernest Milton

I've just been asked by a work colleague from Norwich if I can find out anything about an ex player of ours from the 1920's.

He knows a relation of Ernest who's currently in a care home and is hoping to get an much info as possible. I think he's also tweeted the club.

If anyone knows anything it would be much appreciated.

I'm also going to try a couple of other contacts who may be able to help.

One of those rare breed of Sheffield United players, a trophy winner. Played in the 1925 cup final winning team.

The last survivor of our 1925 FA Cup team. On the day of his funeral, his wife instructed the driver of the hearse to drive with the coffin round the Bramall Lane football ground on the way to the cemetery

An excellent read. Interesting that in retirement he watched both United and Wednesday. It is difficult to appreciate now how many used to do that.
