    • Galt Football Club: Olympic Champions, 1904

      Eight years before the Dominion of Canada Football Association (today's Canadian Soccer Association) was formed, and six months after the founding of FIFA, the Federation Internationale de Football Association, an Ontario club team won an Olympic Gold Medal in soccer.

      The year was 1904, the place St. Louis, Missouri, and the team, the Galt Football Club. Now a part of the City of Cambridge, Galt was a hotbed of soccer activity in those days, and the Galt team had won the Ontario Cup, the championship of Ontario, in three previous years, yet oddly enough not in the year of their Olympic triumph. One year later, Galt also won the unofficial Dominion championship by beating Westmount 2\endash 1 in Montreal on June 13, 1905, and by the same score in Galt on July 3, 1905. One year earlier, Galt had toured Manitoba without losing a game.

      ...Born: Plympton, Lambton County, Ontario, October 30, 1879. Galt F.C. Half Back. Occupation: machinist. Considered to be a hard checker who covered a great deal of territory during a game. He first attracted attention as a sprinter. A member of the Galt team that won the Ontario Cup in 1901, 1902 and 1903.....
