desire to be insistent or dogmatic, and if any of my friends have discovered a greater man than Foulke between the posts, Jel him come forth and he shall be heard. After seven seasons of faithful service Foulke was worthy of a benefit, and indeed I believe that the Football Associs tion have ruled that any player can enjoy the privilege of such a tangible testimonial after five years with one ofob. Strictly speaking, a benchit can ever become a right; it is a distinction conferred by a committee, not merely to present a man with a sum of money, T. EDWARDS but to express special appreciation of successful labours and to encourage others to do their duty Foulke is a gralkeeper of world-wide repnta toes, and in the zenith of his powers I think he was justly entitled to his International cap against Scotland. He had the pleasure of playing against Wales-in-1807-u Sheffield, and never allowed a ball to pass him, but against the Caledonians at the Crystal Palace that year Jack Roblason, then of Derby County, was preferred. I have the atmost ro-pool for the Belection Committee, knowing as I do the difficulty of their task and the fine distinctions which have to be drawn between those with a claim for saps, but for the life of me I never could see any valid reason why Foulke was not chosen in 1897. Consider for a moment that in the campaign of 1896-97 the Sheffield United team took part in 49 matches, and in 18 of these norer was the ball shot into the net, and that with a total of 47 goals against him, Foulko did not average one per match.

THE ADVENT OF WILLIAM FOULKP.

Born at Dawley, in Staffordshire, William Foulke he hates to be called Foulkes-was

brought up as a collier. His sumusument when on the top of the earth was football. In the course of time he went to live at Blackwell, in Derbyshire, and kept goal for the village taam. So remarkable were his exploits between the posts timt bis fame spread from village to village until the report reached the north of the poanty, and even peranzated Sheffield. I'bore was no doubt that Blackwell played a fin's game against Derby County, and the young giant Foulke when trying to clear raised the flying leather, and hit John Goodall, then captain of Derby, in the mouth. The blow was disastrous to Goodall, who found that two teeth which should be in his head were lying on the grass. Sheffield United decided to despatch Mr. Jon Tomlinson, of Heeley, over to Blackwell to see

was dag out. On yet another day he was really

hurt, and four stalwart men were required to carry him from the sunn of operations. But

a match against Stoke ouly last season a very swift shot from short range hit Foulke on tho nose. This would have knocked some men down, but the ball just rebounded and twoStoke fowards rusked for the leather. Either ore could have scored, but tea many cooke spoil the breth, and the two forwards fell over sier ether, with the result that Foulke, while wiping his battered face, coolly kicked the ball away. At the end of January, 1998, when the United had beeń away training at Matlock Bath- and were rotorning to Sheffield, Foulke thought he would weigh himself on the penny in the slot machine at Ambergate, The indicator whizzed round to 31st. Tbs. Even in training, and with his hair cut his weight had gone up 141s. The railway porters decided that the machine was ont of order, and they expressed a wish to weigh Foulke on their own scale. Foulke mounted the balance. but the whole weighta which the porters could secure were not sufficient to all this mighty man up! And yet he has been worth his weight in gold to his club. Au an early date. I will write more generally of goalkeeps, both past and present, but Foulke and his benefit have for the present engrossed my attention, and I hupo years, too,
