A wonderful website for info. Although, I think it wasn't Percy that played for Exeter and Yeovil but his brother Reginald.

Hi Paul, really sorry taken so long to get back to you. I've only just seen this message. When Yeovil played Glastonbury on the 6th September 1919, Yeovil's first game after the war. The match report has R. Nutland (Reginald) playing for Yeovil and later in the report it says he was on amatuer forms at City along with H. Brown.
Of course, the newspaper could be wrong as I think there wasn't much age difference between Reginald and Percy.
Love this site by the way, the amount of work that's gone onto it is incredible.

Hi Mike,
We have Percy playing for City, where does the info about Reginald come from.
