John French Pierce
Llanrwst Town FC
Winners of the 1936-37
Jack Owen Cup
|
Received the following request from Michael Vickers of Penrith, Australia KD:
I am currently ploughing around trying to find out as much as I can about my paternal grandfather - John French Pierce,born 7 August 1915 and died November 1991.
Any information that could assist in finding more about John would be very well received.
If you can help Michael, he can be contacted via mail@penmon.org |
Alun Tudur has been in touch with Michael about
John French Pierce,
and has supplied more information courtesy of Beti Pierce
which is included here. |
|
John's parents were Thomas Pierce and Mary nee Davies.
HisFather Twm Pyrs as they called him locally (Thomas Pierce) came originally from Dinbych (Denbigh) in North Wales and was a plasterer who served in the Somme as a private in the Royal Welch Fusuliers during the first World War.
John was born on the 7th August 1915.John's birth certificate has the family address as 4 Wellington Street Llanrwst.John was named after a General French who was famous at the beginning of the 20th century.
The family were Welsh speaking and lived in a house called The Plough in an area called Scotland Street in Llanrwst, since demolished.
The house was double fronted and had a piano. Wil one of his bothers played the piano and John French enjoyed singing.
|
John in the 1930s
|
He played for Llanrwst Town for a couple of years including the Vale of Conway League Championship for 1936/37 and the Jack Owen Cup - per the medal below.
For a period of time he was a professional footballer playing for the Belfast Celtic team in Northern Ireland.
John joined the Royal Welch Fusiliers with his cousin Robert Davies and landed in France just after the D-Day landings.During the Second World War, he served in India and then in Burma where he may have contracted a tropical disease.
When he came back to Llanrwst his skin was yellow and he spent some time convalescing in The Waterloo Hotel in Betws y Coed which was converted into a hospital during the war.

John, left, with cousin RobertDavies
|
Robert 's parents were Robert senior and Mary Davies. Bob Bach (little Bob), Robert Davies died in the 1970s.
John was terribly wounded around the same time - haven't found the exact date yet. John was confined to a wheel chair and spent a long time in Stoke Mandeville hospital.
He would have been around 32 when the first Stoke Mandeville Games took place so, with John being a sportsman, I am also looking at whether he was involved in these as well.
I have been trying to get the Stoke-Mandeville connection as JFP was supposedly very active sportsman (Rugby union supposedly) and was in this hospital around the time Guttman started the games.

ASSOCIATION
WITH
ACCRINGTON STANLEY F.C.
|
Above; Llanrwst United's historic stand which they obtained from Accrington Stanley's Peel Park ground, when they resigned from the Football League during the 1961/62 season. My thanks to Phil Smith, Chairman Llanrwst United FC for this information.
When Accrington Stanley reformed in 1968, they moved to the Crown Ground. I don't think they asked for their stand back!!
Accrington's kit in 1962 is pictured above. |
