Ned Liddle ex Blue 1913/14 on Antiques Roadshow

Brilliant clip. Is one of the photos SUFC. One of the men looks awfully like Oliver Trigg but I suppose they all did with their bowlers and tashes.
Yes, the bottom one in this screen capture.

Ned Liddle (Sometimes known as Edward Liddell) played for Southend United from 1913 to 1915 before signing for Arsenal.

Here he is in that 1914-15 Southend United team photo, which is the one shown on the TV.
He is the one in the back row sixth from the right as you at it, on the goalkeepers left hand side.

A nomadic player who played for five clubs before making 200 appearances for Clapton Orient. He then joined Southend as a player in October 1913 but after less than a year joined Arsenal.

After the war he was appointed Southend manager in preference to re-engaging Joe Bradshaw, Liddell's tenure as manager lasted barely a year although he oversaw the club's elevation to the Football League.

He then decamped to Queens Park Rangers and spent four seasons as their manager before returning to Southend as assistant manager to Ted Birnie. He then scouted for Fulham before becoming their manager in 1929, incredibly replacing Joe Bradshaw once again. He then scouted for West Ham before guiding Luton Town to promotion to Division Two in 1936/37. He subsequently scouted for a number of clubs during a lifetime in professional football.

Ned Liddell died in November 1969.
