Among the forwards—a dangerous lot who are not to be trifled with—stands out Tommy Winship, a very clever left winger, who played five seasons with Woolwich Arsenal, and also at the close of the season with Fulham. Johnson, his partner, has assisted both Clapton and Brentford, and like Winship, is a deadly goal scorer.
