Re: Harry Best ?

Well, a player called Harry Best is not mentioned in the complete player statistics book "The PFA Premier & Football League Players' Records 1946-1998", so it seems that if a player of this name has played for PNE, it can only have been before WW2.




BUT,

the magnificient website http://www.allfootballers.com/
says that a player called Harry Best HAS played for North End:

4 games in year 1910.

Other information on Harry Best according to http://www.allfootballers.com/

- place of birth: Poolstock
- playing position: CF
