Percy WHIPP
Inside-forward Percy was Glasgow-born, but brought up in west London. His five goals for Town in 1930/31 all came in high scoring games - 4-1, 4-3, 4-1, 3-5 and 4-4 ! Percy returned to the capital after hanging up his boots and worked as a packer for a food manufacturing company.

Albert POWELL
The Welsh winger moved to London at the end of his career, working at a dairy in Hammersmith. He soon signed up with the 34th Signal Training Regiment where he served as a gunner. Presumably injured in combat, he died in the underground hospital at Dover Castle. He was buried in South Wales, close to his home town of Bargoed (see above left)
