Joseph Johnson 1932 season
 

Hi

i'm trying to trace any info on my maternal grandfather, Joseph Johnson. he was listed as a pro footballer on my mothers birth certificate in 1830, living in Birkenhead.

Does anyone have any old data going back that far? Looks like he might have been at Accrington Stanley in 1932 and could have played at halifax and Wigan borough in previous seasons.

Any help would be appreciated

thanks

Joseph Johnson joined Stanley on 24th June 1932, having previously played for Wigan Borough and Halifax Town. He made his debut for Stanley in the home match against Halifax on 27th August. He missed only four matches up to midseason, when an injury and subsequent loss of form saw him play only six of the final 20 fixtures, before leaving the club in May 1933. During his time with the club, he made 26 appearances and scored seven goals.
