More info:
"For a period quite the best outside right in the country. Possessing a fine turn of speed, is always a dangerous man when once clear. Centres with force and precision from the line and can shoot with deadly effect when within range. Has scored many fine goals with oblique shots. Brilliant on his day, but somewhat unequal. Forceful, energetic; has more vim than resource."
