George Drummond, was a versatile footballer who played for Preston North End during its early years. He was part of Preston North End's celebrated "Invincibles" squad, which won the inaugural Football League in 1888-89 without losing a single game and also secured the FA Cup that same season without conceding a goal. A year later, he primarily featured on the left wing, playing a key role when Preston securing the league title for the second consecutive season. Drummond then continued to play for the Lilywhites until 1899 scoring 41 goals in 159 games.

Drummond was regarded as the most versatile and potentially the most talented player in the team. He demonstrated the ability to excel in every position, including goalkeeper. Beside his subtle dribbling and dodging, he was a prize-winning sprinter and highly skilled in the art of short passing.

AMF, CMF, and SB did not exist at that time, they must be removed

Hi,

Can you give me the sources you read? Because as you can see all of my sets those i created i always put sources in the spoiler. That's how i came up with all of my sets.

About CB and SB, it's a controversial topic in this forum, but when you really read about the history of football, although it's all 2-3-5, some team played fullback marking inside-forwards some marked wingers, so basically you can not state that SB did not exist back then.

Btw, I know there is another site which has Drummond's set, but when i did some research about him, i saw it so wrong comparing to all the sources i found and read, that's why I made this.

I don't understand the 73 defence, Charles was quite ghood as a CB and only has 71, was this guy actually better than him ?

in the same links that you posted in the set, I was wrong with SPA and LPA, the values ​​should be changed, lower STA because he was versatile, but he was a reserve player, who played with the other starting pieces of the team, SB did not exist , they were considered wing-halfs, who were DMF who played on the sides, they were the ones who marked the wingers, adjust the information from LF/BS, I think the other information could be more accurate in the set.

You're right when comparing him to Charles, but Charles have better BB, RES, HEA, and when I check GF, GA, GD of 1888-89 & 89-90, Preston was really good at defence, thier GA was so less comparing to the other teams, additionally Preston was one of the first team play scientific football back then, so I put 2 points higher for him comparing to Charles.



So disappointing luti65, he was a utility player, not a reserve one, you can check his stats during that time to see. About positions, again you should do research about halfback ( more marked inside-forwards, less wingers back then) and fullback as i mentioned above, you should NOT throw incorrect information into my thread like this.
Once again, when you debate, please refer source to make it more convincing. If you really read about him to propose adjustments, you will not propose some SPA like an orthodox wingers like above. If you think the set from another forum is more accurate then just using it. Cheers

Updated with some new information from a book.
