Hello David, and thankyou for correcting the article regarding your relation to Henry.

However, I have evidence that your grandfather was indeed involved with the club up until 1903 and not 1898 as all other Fulham historians seem to state. I have found several newspaper excerpts that mention H.D. Shrimpton as a club contact for things such as purchasing tickets and he is also named as club secretary in the 1902-03 season. I can not find any more information linking him to the club after May 1903, however, and this would lead me to believe he had left once the club became a limited company, but he certainly didn't leave the club altogether in 1898 when the club turned professional. It does seem that he packed up playing at that time though.

Kind regards, Jamie
