Turning Professional, from 1888
Peter Connolly
Forwardc. 1889
No individual photograph is known to survive for Peter Connolly; see the note on the players index for why we use a plain card rather than guess.
Recruited personally by David Danskin, Connolly brought Scottish League experience to the forward line and was good enough that Derby County's manager later tried to poach him: an early sign of the semi-professional recruiting battles that would eventually force English football to legalise professionalism altogether.
