When Leeds City found themselves a man short for their game with Sheffield
United at Elland Road on 2 December 1916, they accepted the offer of
assistance from Private W Feathers of the Royal Flying Corps. He had
figured as a forward in Army football, but played right-half in a 2-0
win secured by virtue of goals from Arthur Price and Clem Stephenson.
He never figured again in senior football.
