...THOSE TOWN SERVANTS WHO DIED ON THIS DAY

November 7

Charlie DOWDALL
An international for the Irish Free State, Charlie scored on his Town debut but played in only eight League games for the club. He soon returned to Ireland where he was employed as a fitter in the Guinness factory - and played for the works side, St James's Gate.

Aged 76

Jimmy PUGH
Jimmy hit two F.A.Cup hat-tricks for Town in 1902/03 and was the club's top scorer in the following season. During the 1930's he was groundsman, while running an off licence on Eastcott Hill.

Billy RICHARDSON
Dogged by injuries during his 18 months at the County Ground, Town clearly did not see the best of Billy. He soon returned to Manchester where he later worked for an electrical engineering firm.
