Candidate for identity

[edit]

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.
