If anybody really wants to impress, they can name one from between the wars whose surname also ends in an O (he was actually quite famous), and if anybody wants to admit to being a complete anorak, they can name the pre-First World War player, of whom I have never heard.

Woodcutter must have the same book I do. Right on all counts.

Though how he knows that RC Gotto was known as Bertie is beyond me.

Costello(s) and Saverimutto were the only ones since 1945.
