The funeral took place in Paddington Cemetery, London, on Saturday, of Jimmy Trainer, the famous old Preston North End and international goalkeeper. Known as the “Prince of goalkeepers,” Trainer was probably the finest player who has figured between the sticks in the history of football.
Born in Wrexham in 1863, in his boyhood he played as a centre forward in junior football until his displays in goal during practice led to his being tried in the position, in which he was afterwards such a brilliant exponent.
