Gareth and I tore teams apart with our pace that year - Peter Crouch 
An article from the BBC about WW I and its effects upon footballers of that time, particularly our own Jimmy Seed and Walter Tull. Unlike so much from 'Auntie' these days, it's well worth your time...

An amazing image.
I'm not sure what links Walter Tull to Ayr? Maybe, his brother who was adopted by a Glasgow family? Maybe he was stationed there at some point?
Mrs B has family in Ayr and we've been there a few times and it's very nice but his will be the first black face that I've ever seen there.
Walter Tull had his officer training in Ayrshire.
Can it be tied to him signing a contract with Rangers in 1917?
Aha, it's not on his Wiki page. That's probably why he was signed by Rangers, it's pretty much nearby.
Ayrshire's very nice, if you don't mind a bit of wind and rain...well, more than a bit.
Can't even blame the keeper (Dudek?), no keeper was getting near it.
Is it me or have they got the wrong member of Chas n Dave on the poster

Could argue that it is a tribute to Chas so that's why he's pictured, but surely the pictures are of the people attending.
