Nice selections there, … what about Davey Edwards though!
….. and the infamous Mary Webb?
Mary Webb wasn’t a sporting hero.
have we had sir gordon richards jockey born in the telford area, also matthew webb who swam the english channel, born in a similar area of the county,
matthew webb is already listed in number 2.
there’s also david preece the footballer? think he might’ve been from bridgnorth but could be wrong…
In relation to me saying “Mary Webb” i didnt mean in this catogory per sé …. although in saying that, i wouldnt imagine she’d come under the first two either…
David preece was from Bridgnorth. Superb footballer and great bloke. He very sadly passed away a little while back. RIP.
what about ted hemsley played football for sheffield united and cricket for worcestershire
a good all rounder
