Biography of Thomas Green |
---|
HERITAGE NO : Thomas Green EARLY DEATH Thomas was born in Ashton in Makerfield in January 1860 His father, also named Thomas, was a clerk. When Thomas was just an infant the family moved to live at 143 Westfield Street, St. Helens in the midst of the town centre. In subsequent relocations the family moved to Brook Street and New Cross Street in the same locality. By the time Thomas was a teenager, he was working as a labourer in a glass works. His residence was in a vibrant neighbourhood where rugby football and athletics were the prevalent pastimes for young men. Thomas made his debut for St. Helens Rangers on the 30th of September 1882 against Glodwick, a team emanating from Oldham. He played at half back in the match which ended in an honourable draw. In the following matches, Thomas was moved into the forwards. In all he is recorded as playing in 6 first team matches for St. Helens but because of the paucity of results and team sheets from that period, the number of appearances is likely to be higher. We also believe that Thomas also played regularly for the St. Helens Reserves team as well. Thomas died in St. Helens in March 1888 at the age of 28. |
