makapaka Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I found this sad but interesting information relating to a grave in Walkley cemetery. Thomas Armitage who died after injuring himself playing for Sheffield wednesday. His grandad Tom was the first ever cap for the England cricket team. Also Len Armitage - brother of Thomas - played over 300 professional games for Wednesday, Stoke and Leeds amongst others. http://ceegee-viewfromahill.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-grave-of-thomas-armitage-walkey.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Armitage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
