CRABTREE'S
ASSOCIATION ARTICLES

OLD PRESTON NORTH END — GREAT FULL-BACKS — OUSTANDING HALF-BACKS — INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCES — FORMIDABLE FORWARD LINES.

James William Crabtree, in 1901, was asked to write a series of detailed columns on Association Football. In these columns, the exceptional half-back and full-back, a player widely cited as one of the greatest players of all-time — the best, for many people who saw him — commented on his experiences watching and playing football and his prospects for some aspects of the future. 

The English International, capped thirteen times, wrote the following articles below.
