Ebenezer Cobb Morley plaque unveiling

Is that on his Coffin lid?

Fair play and well done to all involved. Not before time.

 

Great to see. Football is the most popular sport in the world and a man from Hull had a huge say in making the game we all know and love - the city should really do more about this fact.

 

The buggers have done gone and wrecked his hoose.

yes, coffin lids were always made of concrete in those days.

 

There was a campaign gathering some momentum on Twitter to get him a statue earlier this year/last year?. Sadly it appears to have fizzled out now.

This is Charles William Alcock for ****s sake!!

 

That's excellent and the person (s) behind this should be applauded.

 

Just read elsewhere which gives the impression that this plaque is in London, not Hull ?

 

As the meeting took place in London, it really should not be a surprise that the plague is there.
Cobb Morley came from Hull, the FA was formed 154 years ago in London.

 

Plague hit London in 1665 dinnit?

Or was that the Black Death?


Or are they the same thing?




I'm away to check the wives armpits for bubboes, she's sneezing uncontrollably again.

 

Sorry just to clarify, I spelt plague went I meant plaque. I hope no one confuses the FA's black plaque with the Black Plague (otherwise known as The Black Death) black plaque that is in Weymouth as the FA's black plaque has nothing to do with the black plague.

 

Can you tell stork from butter Mel?

 

1665? I think you're thinking of the Great Fire, which was in 1666, and pretty much killed off the Plague with it.

 

What Ebenezzer Cobb Morley died of the plague ?
