City Supporter Campaigning For Headstone For First England Captain

Last updated : 15 May 2012 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City home and away season ticket holder and former Twist N Shout fanzine Editor Paul McKay is behind a campaign to have a headstone for England's first captain Cuthbert Ottway.

Paul is heavily involved with England's supporter base and has helped organise a football match between England Fans FC and Belgium Fans FC in memory of Ottaway on Saturday June 2nd at Bedfont Town - with the winners claiming The Cuthbert Ottaway Memorial Cup, which will feature a number of Coventry Vets players.

It is also planned to play a game between England Fans FC and Marlow FC (one of Ottaway's old clubs) at Riley Park, Marlow, at some point in the future.

Pledges have so far been received from the PFA, Ottaway's family and Marlow FC - and Brent Council are helping out, too
