==John Toothill== 
 Just a brief note. -  
 According to the John Player yearbook 1975-76, a J Toothill played number 15 for Bradford in the  1897-98 Challenge cup final – you had him playing for Bradford until 1894–≥, it now appears it was 4 years (at least) longer 

 Maybe Les Hoole’s “Illustrated R L Challenge Cup” may confirm this
