A Green Leather Wallet Once belonging To The Welsh Rugby Union Vice-President, G. Henry.
This wonderful, rare item belonged to the Welsh Rugby Union Vice-President, G. Henry. A green leather wallet (season ticket 1904-1905). Gavin Henry was Chairman of the Llanelli club.
The green tri-fold leather wallet is in very good condition with silver corner mounts. The leather is a little scuffed on the folds inside. Stamped inside 'Whittington. Neath' and fitted with a propelling pencil. The silver mounts hallmarked London 1903. The front of the wallet embossed in gilt 'Welsh Football Union, the Prince of Wales's feathers, 1901 - 1902, G. Henry Vice - President, admit to all matches under control of the Welsh Football Union.
Taken from the Welsh Mail 19/08/1904:-
Football. Meeting of the Welsh Union Committee.
A meeting of the general committee of the Welsh Rugby Union was held at the Queen's Hotel, Cardiff, on Thursday evening, Mr. Horace Lyne in the chair. The business was of aa formal character. Mr. Lyne was re-elected chairman of committee, and the following were elected on the finance committee:- Messrs W.D.Phillips, Gavin Henry, Ack Llewellyn, J.Games, W.M.Douglas, and T.D.Schofield.
Mr. Gavin Henry takes the place of Mr. W.Wilkins, who resigned his position as Vice-president of the Union at the last annual meeting.
Reported after the Scotland Wales match Arthur Gould (Wales Captain) was exclaiming to everybody after the match "Cymru am byth" and directly after he said it, he would exclaim "I don't know what it means, but I've been told to say it". There was a great deal of chuckling when Gavin Henry 'A Scotsman of the Llanelli club' came to Arthur's rescue and said it meant "Wales forever" adding that it was rather good on such an occasion as that for a Scotsman to teach a Welshman his own language.
