Thank you JCFC; I hadn't realised John Brooks was also part of
the exclusive three forename initial club. He also goes up in my
estimation though perhaps my high opinion should be reserved for
Brooks pere and mere.
Of course having three forename initials does not automatically
confer greatness. One thinks of A C F in particular. However,
this is more than counter-balanced by A W S, D R G, T H C, L
F G, M J D and to bring us back to another thread N C H.
I think that DRG, THC and NCH are respectively Nippard, Reynolds
and Burtenshaw. Turvey and Bodenham have already been
identified, but LFG doesn't ring any bells with me.

All correct. Without my Upton to hand I can think of possibly
one more, G J D

Cricket umpire “Dusty” Rhodes had the initials A E G which
stood for this wonderful trio - Albert Ennion Growcott
Good umpire too incidentally, standing in 8 Tests and 3 ODIs
between 1963 and 1973.

DWG may have been a little before your time.
He was the one in the difficult position of having been the
appointed referee for the next game at Millwall after Mr
Burtenshaw had been attacked and the referees had threatened a
boycott.

By bad on A W S - I should have known better.
The referee I am thinking of was Mr Smith, from the West
Midlands, football league referee whilst holding the post of
General Secretary of the Referees' Association c1990s. I
thought he was a three initial chap, but could be (again)
mistaken.
Any takers?

This I think is Arthur Smith of Rubery, West Midlands whom Upton
lists as A W Smith, with no third forename initial S
Perhaps a case of Alas! Smith and Jones

Honestly JCFC this is without Upton, but perhaps a case of Dr.
Brady I presume
