Very clever. I'm impressed.
Not sure how good the embeds are on this old messageboard, but there's an interesting piece of 'deep fake' footage of our legendary 19th century goalkeeper in this video (1min 1sec in).
There's also a longer version of it in this video >

(2mins 13secs in).

Glad you like it LaxtonLad.
Apologies in advance for the soundtrack. For anyone who doesn't like the idea of gospel-led mumble rap, I suggest keeping your speakers muted.
Some real footage of our legendary keeper in action at the link below, mostly towards the end. It's from 2nd February 1924 at Crystal Palace in the FA Cup (the tie went to a 3rd replay). Notts were 12th in the top flight at the time and we are wearing chevroned white shirts with black shorts and socks. Palace are kitted out in claret shirts with sky blue sleeves.

That is a great find!
Why the need for a soundtrack
Those two clips at the end of him of punching the ball away and then effortlessly tipping it over the bar nicely illustrate the size of the man.
There are two other known films made of games Albert played in but he isn't captured by the camera on either, so the Palace footage is probably all that exists of him.
The Huddersfield Town FA Cup semi-final in 1922, despite the Terriers winning 3-1, only shows the Notts goal and the Town keeper in action.

The other film is against Fulham in 1926 at Meadow Lane which again, despite the opponents winning, only shows action of Notts on the attack.
