Sammy SIMMS
Sammy was equally capable at both centre-forward and centre-half and signed for Town twice. He cost the club £40 in 1913 and then re-signed after the Great War, having been on Leicester's books but 'guested' for Swindon during the hostilities. |

Ted MURPHY
A regular on the left-wing in 1906/07 - he missed just two games - Ted signed up with the North Staffs Regiment when the War arrived and served in France. After suffering a gun shot wound to the head, he was shipped home and transferred to the King George Hospital in London, where he died. |
