Although not a very famous character .. was doing some research, online and in the field yesterday of Cemetery records. Thought this was an interesting little entry. A John Finney who played for Accrington Stanley and Rishton C.C. He sadly died at the tender age of 23 years in 1904, but the headstone was paid for by public subscription, so must have been fairly well known and respected within the town:
