Hull City 1-0 Oldham Athletic
Second round: 4th February 1911
Attendance: 14,000
Scorer: Arthur Temple {60}
Ranked at the time: 82
{Above Hull legend Tommy Browell}
During the 1909/10 season Hull and Oldham, two clubs who had never played among the elite before, had fought a ding dong battle for the second promotion place in the Second division. In December 1909 Hull had easily beaten Oldham 4-0 at The Anlaby Road circle to take the upper hand in the promotion battle but the decider was to be at Oldham on April 30th. Hull went into the game needing a draw for promotion to the top flight, Oldham had to win and the Latics did just that, emphatically triumphing 3-0 to book their debut in the First Division. Hull were naturally confident of putting the matter right in 1910/11 season but their promotion hopes were already slipping away when fate handed them a chance of revenge over the team who had denied them promotion. Worse still for Hull fans was that Oldham were doing okay among the elite when they returned to The Circle for the second round cup tie in which old scores were settled in a tetchy first half in which the ref's whistle was overworked. Play from the home side was considered aggressive but effective as they had the better of the first period, although both Fay and Woodger should have put the visitors in front by the interval. Hull really went for it in the second period and dominated the visitors and deservedly took the lead when Gordon Wright's cross eluded the Oldham backs and was finished off by City's first great striker Arthur Temple on the hour. Tim Wright should have settled the issue minutes later but missed when well placed and other chances went begging as Oldham rarely looked like getting back into it. For Hull then some revenge, inflicting Oldham's first taste of cup upset football A great day out at mighty Newcastle was Hull's reward in the third round when 46,000 people, the biggest crowd ever to watch the Tigers at that time saw them recover from going a goal down within five minutes to level through Joe Smith. Newcastle's star studded side kicked on to a 3-1 lead, though their fans were still made to sweat when Smith scored again in the dying minutes. These great days for the Tigers suggested that top flight football must surely be just around the corner but it proved a case of so near and yet so far as ninety-eight years would pass before the club finally achieved top flight status. Hull's teenage forward Tommy Browell was more fortunate, being snapped up by Everton at the end of the season and becoming an instant hero to the Goodison faithful. It was as a Manchester City striker that he truly would be remembered though, giving that club great service which was highlighted by the defeat of local rivals United in the only meeting between the sides in an F A cup semi final in 1926. Browell was by then a seasoned veteran, picking up a runners up medal that year. Today a street near City's former Maine Road home bears his name.

I am trying to find information on Edward Roughley. I believe that he was playing football for Hull City at the time of 1911 census.
Could anyone confirm that there is an Edward Roughley living in the East Yorkshire area in 1911, who was born in Lancashire around 1879/80, please?
Many thanks
Roy McDonald
