Alan MCLOUGHLIN
After four years as a Town player, Alan went on to register more than 500 League appearances and over forty caps for Eire. He returned to the County Ground as U13-U16 phase coach in 2015 and was Academy Manager at the time of his premature death due to cancer.

Bob WAITE
Discovered by ex-Town player George Richardson, Bob was signed from Scottish Third Division football in November 1924. But he moved on to Bath almost four years later having made only four League appearances for Town. He worked as a crane operator at the GWR works.

Aged 85

Jesse WARREN
Jesse was signed from Highworth Town just after the First War. A centre-forward, he made just three Southern League appearances in 1919/20. Jesse was employed by the GWR as a steam hammer operator.
