Edwin Birch

Edwin Birch Date of Birth: Oct 7, 1869

Born in 1867 in Newhall, Edwin had the delicate skills of a winger and the strength of a wing-half, an accurate passer of the ball and a good finisher.

After a spell at Burton Swifts, Edwin brought all these attributes to Luton in 1895 where he was a regular performer over the next four seasons, including two in the Football League.

A schoolteacher by profession, he took up a post in Staveley, Derbyshire on leaving the Town. Edwin passed away in St Albans in 1946.
