    2. glenn piper
    3. I have just made a wonderful discovery this week. I have been researching history of Sheffield United Harriers up to c1920 and managed to find someone who has the original Humberstone Cup for athletics in his attic!!. (Its a long story!)He sent me a digital photo inscribed with a list of winners inc my great grandfather William Doubleday PIPER. Here are all the names on the cup.I can send a digital photo if you spot any ancestors. My contact has also sent me copies of the Sheffield United Harriers minute book c1899-1901 and i am busy transcribing names. This is a unique document I will post a list of names asap and deposit a copy at the Sheffield archives soon. Any more info on Sheffield United Harriers would be most welcome Humberstone cup winners 1901was E Bannister 1902 G Spooner 1903 N Baldwin 1904 N Baldwin 1905 W.D Piper 1906 S Howard 1907-8 A Turner 1915 J W Round 1916 C W Hissett 1918 J E Sharman 1919 H Legge 1920 L Sandall 1921 T Handley 1927 W Hibberd 1932 C Christian(long time chairman of the club) 1936 E Whitehurst 1937 H Ibbotson 1938 JE Meek 1939 S Chaffey 1940 R Barden 1943 F A L Turner 1944 K W Atkin 1945 P Challenger 1946 D Waddington 1947 C A Fearn 1949 R Watson 1950 D Beckett 1954 J B E Edwards 1955 D Binns 1957 F Jarvis 1961 M Thursby 1962 D Oldfield(current member) 1965 M Exley 1969 R Marsh 1973 P SHAW 1974 M sMITH 1976 j sTRINGER Glenn Piper researching PIPER-UK.
