Default Re: The sad case of a founding member and player of Wrexham Football Club

The first trophy associated with our club was a pewter tankard presented to CE Kershaw at an athletics event organised by the Football Club on Saturday 13th May 1865.
CE Kershaw was The Clerk of Scales for the horseracing at The Racecourse, but also a played cricket For Denbighshire County Cricket Club and was a founding member of Wrexham Athletic Football Club; he had also played in our first ever game against the Prince of Wales Fire Brigade, some months earlier
While I have been unable to find any picture of the tankard, it was sold sometime ago at an auction house, with its value highlighted due to the historical status as WAFC being one of the oldest clubs in the world
