It should be
"G Latham" the trainer
Local lad from the town
newtown fc
The ground is named after him "Latham park"
He is buried in local church yard i sometimes still put blue flowers on his grave
After we where promted with warnock i went to the grave and thanked him with a big bunch of blue flowers
As newtown play in red there is often red flowers along with the red plaque
Sadly nothing from cardiff.

A lot of the FA Cup winning Bluebirds were WWI heroes and their stories well worth looking up...

Brave men and heroes in all aspects...! :clap: :ayatollah:
