Guest Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I notice he doesn't have a Wiki page (we are missing so many ex players on there) but this time I'll leave that to someone else to do, if anyone wants to do it. Drop me a line if not and I'll stick one up. I know that this chap has been thoroughly researched before on the Sheffield History page, so I won't replicate that on Owlstalk. http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/6527-vivian-sumner-simpson-mc/ If anyone wants anything extra give me a nudge and I'll pop into the files as always. Nice one Dunsby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimisticowl Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Just noticed that it was the centenary of his death last month. Apparently his medals and letters from the trenches are in the military section of a Rotherham museum, possibly Clifton, wouldn’t It be fitting if there was something permanent to honour this brave man in Hillsborough?
