Obituary |
,%20Edwin.jpg) "
A NOTED FORESTER―DEATH OF MR. EDWIN LUNTLEY.
"The death took
place last night of Mr. Edwin Luntley, a former celebrated Nottingham
Forest football player.
"The deceased, who was 64 years of age, started
his football with the old Lace and Notts. Castle clubs, and in 1878 joined
the Forest. The club had just
entered for the Association up, and for two seasons they went through the
competition to the semi-final.
"Mr. Luntley was a splendid back, and he
got his international cap both for Scotland and Wales matches.
"In his
day he was one of the best batsmen in local cricket, and more than once
was top scorer in the Lace and Hosiery match―a noted one in those times.
In the early 80's lacrosse was introduced to the district, and he was one
of the first to play at Radcliffe along with the Dafts, J. F. Bishop, and
others.
"Later Mr. Luntley turned his attention to golf, and was one of
the founders of the Chilwell Manor Club. He had been in indifferent health
for many years, suffering from Bright's disease."
