As reader of the book Shropshire Cricketers 1844-1998 (published 1999) by Tony Percival, a cricket statistician, I have come across a man who might be the same as the subject of this scant article. I make this information available to someone who might be able to follow this up with more detailed checking of reference books. This candidate is very close in birth date.
Full name = Richard Thomas Gough (may have been reported as R.T. Gough)
Birth registration = 1859 2nd Quarter
Birth place = Marton, Shropshire
Death date = 2 February 1934 (age therefore 74)
Death place = Oswestry, Shropshire
Football career = Club - Oswestry Town (was then under Wales FA so could field internationals); Wales International (unstated year); Football Referee and President of the Football Association of Wales
Cricket details = Club - Oswestry; played in representative matches for Shropshire County Cricket Club 1884-1903 statistics 17 matches, 24 innings, 5 Not Outs, 88 runs (highest score in match 16), 53 wickets.
