Ted Clack - Wikipedia
You can read the biography of Charles Edward 'Ted' Clack (including his exploits in both World Wars) on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Clack. Over two seasons the winger made 9 appearances for the Rokerites, failing to win any. Perhaps that is why he moved to Bristol City for free in 1923.

Looking through the 1921 census for one of my @vchgloucester.bsky.social parishes, and I was intrigued to find a professional footballer amongst all the ag labs and other rural workers. Intriguingly, he was actually under contract to @safc.com whilst apparently living near Cirencester.
