Beecham's Beginning

December 1925

The Club gives a debut to 19-year-old goalkeeper Ernie Beecham against Blackpool and he went on to make 130 appearances - still a record for consecutive appearances after a debut. The run was only halted when Beecham broke his neck against Exeter City in 1928. The picture is from "Football Caricatures By MAC" - John Player & Sons - Series of 50 - (1927).
