Paul Birmingham 6 Posted 21/08/2018 at 09:49:34 Excellent read, and a great insight to how life,was.Jack had loads of character and guts to adapt and flex to make a living. Inspiring and another piece of our clubs history, unfolded.Thanks Tony. Mike Owen 7 Posted 21/08/2018 at 12:16:47 A great piece, Tony. I am sure you spent a heck of a lot of time researching all that.So, 100 years ago today, Jack Brearley and others were stuck in a prison camp. He surely never thought that Evertonians a century later would be reading about him. He'd want to buy you a pint, Tony!I'd like to think some of our modern-day players might read this piece about him. Lenny Kingman 8 Posted 21/08/2018 at 13:22:04 Even in those far off days, a man with a little talent and determination could fill his swag and head off to achieve a rewarding and adventurous life.Thanks for posting a glimpse of a time long passed but not forgotten thanks to articles like this.
