       Interesting character who, I'll admit, I'd never heard of.
       Belfast-born, played for Cliftonville, capped by Ireland at
       rugby and travelled to the 1924 Olympics as part of the Free
       State's football squad.

       "... during the Great War Ernie was shot in the wrist at Arras,
       France in 1917 causing him to be invalided from the Army and to
       lose the power in three of his fingers."
       Could have been worse - he could have been shot in the arras at
       Wrist!
       And at least he had two fingers left to, er,     wave to the
       German who shot him.
