Hi,
Fascinating site and thank you. Surprisingly it appears that a a likely relative of mine, Cothliff, appeared in this match v S.Liverpool. Are you able to advise how I could get more details please? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Simon,
Unfortunately I do not have any more information about him. I will check with a fellow historian if he can find any more about him. I will also keep an eye out for any future finds I might get.
Regards,
Kjell
