British Medical Journal, March 10, 1951, 533

I accidentally came across my father's name on your website. Some details need amending:

  • He only played two matches for Scotland, both in 1920 he also played for Yorkshire in 1926 when doing his hospital year at Bradford RI.
  • dob should read 26 July 1900

Sincerely
John Selby
