Information please for a relative of Billy Rogers who played for Wrexham & Wales before his death in 1936 of cancer.

Apparently there was a photo of Billy in a Wrexham pub some time ago but no idea which pub unfortunately.

Any ideas?

He should be in the Adams to Youds book if you have not checked there.

I would check my copy for you but all of my stuff is currently in storage.

Christ played on for three seasons with terminal cancer! And to think, these days, players will sit it out with a slight knock!

Connected to the former billiard hall at the bottom of Wheatsheaf Lane, Gwersyllt I believe.

Billy Rogers was regarded as the utility man of the team. He started the 1928 season at inside right and then right half back, before shifting to outside right and then back to half back.

Thank you to everyone replying in this thread. I will pass messages on to his relative on the Isle of Wight. Would anyone know of a photo please?
