An old friend visits Mr. Watson


Saturday, October 7 – 1899
Mr. Samuel Tyzach was a welcome visitant to Tom Watsonæs domicile during the past week. How they must have talked over and sighed for  the old days.

As a pair they brought off more successful captures than probably any two men in England, and Tom would be the first to acknowledge that much of the fame achieved by him in the football world was owing simply and solely to the splendid assistance rendered him by Tyzach.

Mr. Tyzach was fairly idolised by the old Sunderland players, and most of the credit for collecting together that gloirous band of footballers belongs to him.
