Edward Parry B. December 9Th, 1892 Colwyn Bay D. November 18Th, 1976, Colwyn Bay Edward Parry b. December 9th, 1892 Colwyn Bay d. November 18th, 1976, Colwyn Bay Edward was the son of Hugh Parry and Margaret Foulkes. Born December 9th, 1892, he was the third of six siblings, the others being Thomas (1888), Hugh (1890), Maggie (1896), John (1898) and Fred (1902). Hugh and Margaret lived with Margaret's widowed mother at 13 Park Road, Llandrilo ym Rhos, Colwyn Bay, a two story 6 bedroomed house, in the 1891 census. Edward was born the following year and by 1901 they had moved to, they were living at Oswell Villa, Bryn Asaph, Llandrillo ym Rhos, Colwyn Bay. By 1911, Edward and his family were at Rhiw Bank Avenue in Colwyn Bay. Edward was working as a Painter (presumably Painter and Decorator) and the family had 6 boaeders, all Painters, from different parts of the country. Edward had an ability at and a love for football, and joined Colwyn Bay Colts in 1910 and played with them for 11 years. During that time Ted beame acknowledged as one of the best full baks in the region and was rewarded with an Amateur International call up for Wales as the archives tell. Welsh Football Data Archives The North Wales Coast League Season 1920-21 was probably the best season the League ever experienced. There were 12 clubs in Division 1, and 14 in Division II. Division I.— Holyhead. Holywell, Denbigh, Bangor, Blaenau Festiniog, Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Conway, Caernarvon, Llanrwst, Portmadoc, Ogwen Valley. Division II.— Llechid Celts, Glasinfryn Swifts, Abergele, Pemnaenmnwr, Holyhead R.I. Reserves, Bangor Athletic Reserves, Llanfairfechan, Caernarvon Athletic Res., Nantlle Vale, Menai Bridge, Llanberis Com-rades, Dolgarrog. Llangefni, Rhiwlas Athletic. Mr. E. Bithell, of Colwyn Bay, was appointed Chairman, and the other officials remained as in the previous season. During this season the FAW played several international trial matches, and Messrs. Ted Parry, of Colwyn Bay, Jackie Jones, Abergele, C. Edwards, Holywell, and Idwal Davies, Conway, received their Amateur international caps. J. Neal of Llandudno and Bangor UCNW was selected as first reserve. Everton F.C. sent a strong team to Colwyn Bay on December 8th, 1920, to play a representative side of the League, and were successful by one goal to nil. The nett financial result of this match was a profit of £51 13s 1d. to the League. Further acknowledgement came when he left Colwyn Bay and joined Liverpool on £5 per week.. The details below from the Liverpool FC Archives. Edward was at the ripe old age of 29 when he became a professional footballer having spent his playing days as an amateur in Colwyn Bay, Wales. He was an able full-back who was at Anfield for five years in the early 1920's but he only made 13 League appearances in all that time while playing in five internationals for Wales. It was easier said than done to displace the outstanding trio of full-backs: Tommy Lucas, Donald Mackinlay and Ephraim Longworth. His Liverpool debut came against Derby County towards the end of the 1920/21 season but he hardly got a look-in as successive League Championships were won in 1922 and 1923. In the second of those title-winning seasons, ten men played in at least 37 of the 42 League games so the team almost picked itself. After spending the majority of his Liverpool career as captain of the Central league side he moved to third division Walsall at 33 years of age before returning to Colwyn Bay.

In the following year Joan Evelyn Parry was born and at some point they set up home in Colwyn Bay as Ted resumed playing football for Colwyb Bay United and Llandudno Town before his career ended in 1933. In 1948 Ted took on the coaching role at Colwyn Bay and was also captain of Colwyn Bay Golf Club (whilst his brothers were captains at Abergele and Rhos-on-Sea). After his footballing days were over, he ran a painting and decorating company (Parry & Williams) and employed a number of other painters, the connection to which as can be seen in the 1911 census where a number of boarders with the family were painters.

Another highlight from my website Perhaps it's an oddity, but I don't care and I'm going to include this here. It's the earliest item that I have of anything resembling HTAFC memorabilia - a sadly incomplete newspaper report of Town's 6-1 West Riding Cup 2nd Round tie against Clayton West on 20th March, 1909 at a time when Town was only a Midland League team. Of interest here is the mention in the third paragraph of 'The Redskins' which MUST be Town because Howard - who kicks clear - is a Town player; so does this prove that Town played in red at this time? All Town fans know that we were at one time known as 'The Scarlet Runners' due to playing in red shirts - later to become pink as the colour ran after all too-frequent washes! - and this would appear to be the evidence that was required. This brilliant piece of history is glued to the back of the telegram that I have announcing Town's acceptance into the Football League soon after in 1910.

  • A Complete History of Southport
    A COMPLETE HISTORY OF SOUTHPORT FOOTBALL CLUB Brought together in one place by Rob Urwin With grateful thanks to Michael Braham & Geoff Wilde whose book The Complete League History of Southport Football Club is widely acknowledged as the best club history book ever written (or at least Geoff said it was before his untimely passing in 2020) 1 IN THE BEGINNING It was Saturday 12th November 1881 when Southport played its first Association Football match. Although association football had been played in the town's private schools in the late 1870’s the original Southport Football club began as a rugby team. The 'handling code” had been played competitively since 1872 in Southport and there were teams under the titles of Southport Olympic, Southport Wasps, Southport Hornets and The Grasshoppers. Southport Football Club, who had been in existence for some seasons, arranged rugby fixtures for 1881-82. After some heavy defeats, the last recorded being on 15th October when Wavertree prevailed, the club switched to association football. On 12th November, six of that team lined up when Southport played Bootle “second” in their first match under Association Rules. Bootle took the lead but Jackson shot “a capital goal to equalise” The Southport team was S Platt (Goal), B Pidduck, JG Howard (Backs) P.Edwards, F Jackson and TB Burnett(Captain) (Halves), JR Topliss and F Holden (Rights) W Platt (Centre) J Melross and J. Sykes (Lefts). The Southport Visiter commented “that the team will no doubt render a good account of themselves when they get over the difficulty of hands off and forget the rugby rules” The following week Southport lost by “one goal and one disputed goal to nil” at Burscough.
