I suspect a certain amount of cheating is involved here.

There's also several who were top scorers for other teams and also played for us, though. Andy gray is one.

So of the 12 names I had, there's still one no-one said.

Dean, Lineker, Lawton, Sandy Young, Latchford, Andy Gray, Southworth, Settle, Freeman, Parker, Wilf Chadwick and one left.

How else will anyone find out unless they research? I must have misread the question. In that case it must be Jimmy Glazzard who was top scorer when he played for Huddersfield Town

Of course, mate. I was just kidding about.

You're right, as well. Well done.

Okay so what did Harry Makepeace do as an everton player that no other sportsman in england has ever done?

 

[ToffeeDan]

Might be he was capped as an amateur in football and cricket. Know he was also chairman of Man U and the FA which is remarkable

He was one of 12 players to be capped for england in both cricket and football but he also did something that none of the other 11 did.

 

[eagleowl]

Scored a test century?

 

[eagleowl]

No, because Jack Sharp also managed that. Makepeace won League title though, Sharp didnt.

 

[Allezfan]

Scored a test century?

Lots of Cricketers have done that, though. Got it second time, though.

He's the only sportsman to win the country's top honours in two different sports. The league and cup with us and the county championship with lancashire.

 

[Azzurri]

Was he the lid who dribbled straight into the box from a corner?
