fevnut special: The most common surnames of Fev players



Just for fun we decided to look at the most common surnames of Fev players through our history since 1921.

It is no surprise that the commonest of all was Smith with 16 of them.

Two surnames appear 11 times: Johnson and Ward
Three surnames appear 10 times: Barraclough, Jones and Morgan.

Two of those on the lists (Frank Ward and Len Barraclough) sit very close to fevnut in the main stand at home games.

You will notice that the first player on the list has no forename. We believe that he was a wartime ‘guest’ player and it is incredibly difficult to find details of those. There are also a three ‘Smiths’ for whom we only have initials.

There are two pairs of players (George Johnson and Peter Johnson) with identical names so we distinguish them by giving one a ‘{2}’ added to their forename.
