Obituary |
"DEATH OF HARRY MASKREY
"Harry Maskrey, the former Derby County
goalkeeper, died suddenly yesterday at the New Inn, Derby, of which he had
been the licensee for the past five years. Maskrey, who was a native of
Ripley, joined Derby County in 1903, and proved one of the finest
custodians the club ever had. He was honoured by his country in 1908, when
he played against Ireland, and in the following season was transferred to
Bradford City." -
Sunderland Daily Echo, Friday, 22 April 1927
"DEATH OF HARRY MASKREY—A FORMER
DERBY COUNTY GOALKEEPER
"sportsmen, not only in Derby and district but in other parts of
the country, will receive with regret the news of the death, which
occurred suddenly this morning of Harry Maskrey, the former goalkeeper
for Derby County. He only saw a doctor as recently as Tuesday, and no one
predicted his end was so near. He got up as usual, and was in the yard at
the rear of the New Inn, Russell Street, Derby, of which he had
been the licensee for the five years, when he collapsed and died. Maskrey
joined the County from
Ripley in 1903. He soon made his mark, for he proved to be a masterful
goalkeeper, and put up many marvellous performances, his name becoming
worthy of classification with those of such men as Robinson, Fryer, Sam
Hardy and Scattergood, the last-named of whom took his place between the
posts following his transfer to Bradford in October, 1909." -
The Derby Daily Telegraph, Saturday, 21 April 1927.
"Derby County 2 Sunderland 1—Derby County wore black armbands in
memory of Harry Maskery, their goalkeeper of former days, who died during
