LIVERPOOL FC and WALES International footballer.
Harry was born in Newtown/Wales in 1897, one of six boys. At the start of WW1, Harry enlisted in 1914 in the 1st/7th Royal Welsh Fusiliers, along with 2 of his brothers. Harry was a mere 16 years of age at the time of enlisting. Although a bugle boy at the start of the war, Harry saw action in Gallipoli and Palestine as a 'Rifleman' and was honoured for saving a Serbian Officer, being awarded the Serbian Gold Medal for Gallantry.
During his term in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, Harry played for the Regiment Football Team, this passion was to follow him on his return to 'Blighty' after the war was over.
Harry returned to his hometown Newtown, and began his footballing career with Newtown FC in 1919. Harry soon became 'noticed' and began playing with Garston FC in Liverpool not long after. In 1921 Harry signed for Liverpool FC and played for Liverpool for 4 years. Harry also played for Wales in 1925 winning two caps for his efforts.
In later life, Harry raised a family as a manager of a large and prestigious Public House owned by 'Bents Brewery' in Huyton/Liverpool called the Hillside Hotel. After retirement Harry and his wife moved to Mold/North Wales, and in 1958 at the age of 60, harry passed away, returned to his adopted home City of Liverpool, and was buried here at Everton Cemetery.
