Gillingham player killed playing against Brighton



Cheshire Cat

The most curious thing..
OK so it was some time ago but has anyone else heard about this anywhere else...

"In 1934 Simon Raleigh of Gillingham died from a brain haemorrhage following a clash of heads with Brighton's Paul Mooney. The Brighton player was so distressed by Raleigh's death that he retired from playing football. "

Marvellous :bowdown:- I don't get to see many programmes from here.

Is there a good BHA history book still available and in print?

Paul Mooneys realtives still live in Brighton, I went out with his maternal grandaughter for a year or so in around 1996 ........she showed me a picture of him once and although she was quite attractive I could see a vague resemblance to him in her...... which was quite off putting at times.
