Ernest Blenkinsop of Brierley Colliery & England

Ernest Blenkinsop was born in Cudworth in April 1902, and went on to become one of the most successful footballers of the inter-war period. He won a wide range of domestic and international honours during his long career with Sheffield Wednesday and England, but his first experience of work was gained in the six years he worked at Brierley Colliery from 1915 to 1921. One account of the transfer describes how Ernest insisted on working out his notice at Brierley Colliery, only to be dispatched immediately by the Colliery manager who advised him that "Owt might 'appen down t'pit in a week".
