A wonderful life story but a sad reflection on the times in football. In my years on the Isthmian League in the 1970s, I never came across Emerson and I'm sorry I didn't. Thank you for posting. RIP Emerson.

If memory serves me right, Pete Helsby was in the Forces. Possibly Navy as he was based in Portsmouth.

Correct.

I’m really pleased that we’ve managed to solve that mystery and given some acknowledgment to a trailblazer
