After the recent post about Minnie Seed I’m returning to the chronological telling of the JS life story, which this week is about his school days, his working at the colliery from age 14, and ‘signing for’ Whitburn FC, his local team.
After this I suspect each post will consist of one or two seasons in his playing career, so we’re some way away from his Charlton years I’m afraid.
Nonetheless, I hope you’ll give them a go as he had a fairly remarkable life.
I’ll update this thread whenever I publish a post.
Thanks, Jim.
