Wharton was the first black professional and the first to play in the Football League. Wharton was an all-round sportsman - in 1886, he set a then world record of 10 seconds for a 100 yard sprint in the AAA championship. Wharton had a reputation as a hard man on the field and when he unleashed his trademark ‘prodigious punch’, it was said that he always connected with ether the ball, or an opponents head! In those days a goalie could handle the ball anywhere in his own half and players could barge him whether he was on or off the ball, which explains the logic of having a fast, powerful goalkeeper. Wharton seems to have relished the more physical side of the game and like many goalkeepers, he seems to have had an eccentric streak. _________________ « I'll tear your f*cking head off and puke in the hole » - Vinnie Jones to Kenny Dalglish Arthur WHARTON | 1886-1888 | PES Stats Database (Golden Era Backup)
