Obituary

"Supporters of Association football will be sorry to hear of the death, on the 10th inst., at New York, of Conrad Warner, well known a decade since as goalkeeper for Upton Park Football Club. He officiated between the posts for England v. Scotland at Glasgow in 1878, and rendered good service to the London Association when in its infancy. Deceased, who was only 38 years of age, besides being a good footballer, was an excellent all-round athlete. As a sprinter he was in the front rank, and he could hold his own at cricket, lawn tennis, hockey, skating, and other pastimes." - Ripley & Heanor News & Ilkeston Division Free Press, Friday, 25 April 1890.
