Biography of Albert Lawley | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 HERITAGE NO : 296 Albert Lawley by Alex Service We know he played for Widnes. Albert was a full-back, who made just five appearances for the Saints, but at an interesting time in some respects. The club had signed a player from Scottish Rugby Union called John McCallum, at the start of the season, who was seen to be a possible replacement for the evergreen Tommy Barton. It was not to be, however and John went back north after just one match. Consequently, the club still faced the problem of who would wear the number one jersey on a regular basis. They tried Travena, Parkinson, Fairhurst, Crooks and Lawley during the 1921-22 season. Yet it was another local lad, Charlie Crooks, who made the position his own over the next decade. Albert did not play many games for the Saints. We do know that he lived at Mersey Road in Widnes when he played for St.Helens. In 1939 he was living in Oakland Street, Widnes and working as a Labourer in a Chemical Works. He died in his Oakland Street home in Widnes, in March 1977, at the age of 85. Thanks to Steve Fox, the Widnes historian, for the splendid photo of Albert and advising us regarding Albert's time and place of death. | ||||
