Not in Billy’s bones to play centre half

Saturday, April 15 – 1922
Just a word of warning to Bristol City. We happen to know Billy Matthews, their recent acquisition from Liverpool intimately, and we know that he has a great aversion to playing centre half, the position in which he was tried last week. Only some months ago he said to us “Liverpool think I will make a centre half, but I know I never shall. It is not in my bones to play there!”
