Lol
Actually I Think he came before Burnley FC started to be a teacher then headmaster at Habergham around 1866.

He was 4 when his dad died in Deal. Somehow his mother got him to train to be a teacher at Battersea College. Maybe with the mills going up they needed more teachers in Burnley and job opportunities were better.
He got a head job in Colne in the 1880s, hence why I’m from there.
