Alex Thomson, the young centre forward of East Stirlingshire is expected to sign for Liverpool F.C. Mr. Tom Watson, the secretary of that club, is making a special journey to Scotland to see Thomson, who wishes to follow up his profession in Liverpool, and if that point is satisfactorily arranged, as anticipated, he will go to the Merseyside club.

Alexander Thomson was my grandfather
Hi Ken. Thanks for you comment. You have some football history there then. I know I spent some time to get confirmed if the surname was Thomson or Thompson. I will do an update on him and see if I can find additional articles.

Hi again,
I have now updated his profile page. I miss some dates and if you have these and want to share them I would be most grateful.
