Feedback/Suggestions / Re: 1935 Canterbury players
Last post by GregRLP - 22 April, 2024, 11:49:19 PMThanks Max well researched as always these have now been updated.
I have given the 3 games for Balmain in 1933 to S Sharp and removed Alfred Wellington's nickname Duke it would be highly unlikely there are 2 A Wellington's nicknamed Duke and Alfred was still playing lower grades with Newtown in 1941 so couldn't be playing in Leeton.

Feedback/Suggestions / 1935 Canterbury players
Last post by Max Turner - 21 April, 2024, 10:38:41 PMI've found there are quite a few errors on the old thebulldogs website, including the first names of some players (with that said, there is also some good information on there). I suspect there are more Canterbury players of this era who have been misnamed.
- Fred Brighten should be Fred Brighton. He was born in 1913 in Mildura, Victoria, and died on 30 September 1981. His full name was Frederick Murray Brighton.
- Charlie Cant should be Clyde Cant (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). He was born 23 February 1907 in Gundary, near Goulburn, NSW, and died on 23 March 1957. His full name was Arthur Cyril Clyde Cant.
- Tom Carey was born 20 January 1912 in Prescot, England, and died on 20 June 1992. His full name was Thomas Sylvester Carey.
- Harry Courtney was born 11 October 1908 in Canterbury, NSW, and died on 6 December 1936. His full name was Harold William Herbert Courtney.
- Vince Dwyer should be Vic Dwyer (7). He was born 5 April 1909 in Murrurundi, NSW, and died on 7 April 1968. His full name was Victor Bede Dwyer.
- Harry Hall was born in Penrith, NSW. He died in 2003. His full name was Harry Dalton Hall.
- Bill Joass was born 5 July 1909 in Lakemba, NSW. He was the son of Wests' William Joass and nephew of Alf Joass (William and Alf were brothers).
- Roy McCallum's date of death should be 15 November 1979.
- Jack McConnell was born 27 March 1910 in Redfern, NSW, and died on 7 November 1985. His full name was John James McConnell.
- Malcolm McPhillips should be Mick McPhillips (8, 9, 10, 11). I couldn't find a Malcolm or a Michael McPhillips that fits the bill, so I suspect 'Mick' might be a non sequitur from his real name, like Harry 'Mick' Kadwell. Mick's nickname appears to have been Midget (12), which seems consistent with source [10] calling him 'diminutive'.
- Jack Morrison's DOB should be 26 July 1905 in Murwillumbah, NSW. His full name was John Harold McKay Morrison.
- Barry Neville should be Bert Neville (13, 14, 15). He was born 7 November 1912 in Ipswich, Qld, and died on 27 October 1992. His full name was Albert Tighe Neville. He passed the referee's examination in 1941 (16).
- Joe Sharp was born in Murrurundi, NSW. His full name was Evley Joseph Sharp. He was married to his wife Violet for 77 years and 256 days until his death. She died in 2008, aged 101.
-- The 3 Balmain (1933) games attributed to Joe appear to have been a different person, who was listed as L Sharp (17), S Sharpe (18), or S Sharp (19). This player joined Balmain from Easts (20), and it appears we have him as S Sharp on the site.
- Alan Wellington should be Alfred Wellington (21). He was born 1912 in Brunswick (Melbourne), Victoria, and died on 11 April 1993. His full name was Alfred Francis Wellington.
-- I'm not sure that the nickname Duke is correct for Alfred. There is an A. Wellington playing five-eighth for Leeton in September 1940 (22), and this player is referred to as "Duke" Wellington in July 1941 (23). I can't find any evidence that Alfred Wellington, who played for Canterbury and Newtown as a forward, was the five-eighth at Leeton.
- Fred Brighten should be Fred Brighton. He was born in 1913 in Mildura, Victoria, and died on 30 September 1981. His full name was Frederick Murray Brighton.
- Charlie Cant should be Clyde Cant (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). He was born 23 February 1907 in Gundary, near Goulburn, NSW, and died on 23 March 1957. His full name was Arthur Cyril Clyde Cant.
- Tom Carey was born 20 January 1912 in Prescot, England, and died on 20 June 1992. His full name was Thomas Sylvester Carey.
- Harry Courtney was born 11 October 1908 in Canterbury, NSW, and died on 6 December 1936. His full name was Harold William Herbert Courtney.
- Vince Dwyer should be Vic Dwyer (7). He was born 5 April 1909 in Murrurundi, NSW, and died on 7 April 1968. His full name was Victor Bede Dwyer.
- Harry Hall was born in Penrith, NSW. He died in 2003. His full name was Harry Dalton Hall.

Last post by GregRLP - 18 April, 2024, 12:26:40 AMYes, the language used would indicate he started the game normally if they highlight a players performance they mostly indicate if he was a replacement at some point or not in the match which they don't, the Sun Herald used similar language in their praise of Charlton.
