Gerald Dewhurst, an England international, was actually Gerard Dewhurst.
Admittedly he’s Gerald Powys Dewhurst in Cambridge University Alumni 1261-1900. But he’s Gerard Powys Dewhurst in more sources than I can name here. Just a small selection: the Repton School Register; Censuses of 1881, 1891, 1901, and 1911; Births Marriages and Deaths; Slater’s Manchester Directory 1903; many editions of The Times (‘Mr Gerald P. Dewhurst, chairman of Williams Deacon’s Bank’), including his obituary, which confirms he played international football; and many railway websites with photos of a steam train (!) called the Gerard Powys-Dewhurst, built in 1920.
All the best,

Hi Cris,
Thanks for the update. When I tried to map his football career he was either Gerard or Gerald every second week. Since he was an amateur and could play for whoever he wanted from week to week (I assume) – this is what his career looks like: http://kjellhanssen.com/1980/01/01/gerard-powys-dewhurst-gerard-dewhurst-or-gp-dewhurst/
