    James William Riley born Barnsley 1883 became BFC's first official mascot - he was the mascot at the 1912 Cup Final. He was known as Amos since childhood.

    As well as being club mascot Amos would be seen dressed in full riding gear and wearing a large flowery hat at the local Feasts riding one of Bywaters donkeys.

    He lived on Shaftesbury Road Stairfoot and worked at Rylands Glassworks.

    Sadly Amos was fatally injured when he was knocked down by a bus when crossing Barnsley Road Stairfoot on 23 October 1937.

    He never married and is buried in an unmarked grave in Ardsley Cemetery.

    Interesting read that. It's good to know more about our early history. With Patrick buying a few of our 1912 winners medals it would be good if the Cryne family were interested in bidding for this one even though it was the opposition who beat us. If we ever got around to a Barnsley FC museum it would be a good piece to have in there as long as the new Saudi owners of Newcastle don't bid on it.

    We do have one piece of Newcastle memorabilia from the 1910 Final which may be unique as I havent seen somethin similar. It came from John McCormack the son of legendary goalscorer Cec who passed on his fathers contracts from his time at Barnsley and other clubs. Incidentally prior to joining the Reds, Cec was at non League Chelmsford and actually took a pay cut to play for us in Division Two. Part of Cecs things was a bottle decoration made of card that had been used in the celebration dinner for the Newcastle team in 1910. I think Cecs father may have attended, so a real family heirloom and we were lucky to receive it. As you say, on the day we have a museum this sort of think will be on view for Ll to see.

    VAR said it was onside even though the Newcastle forward was goal raking on the edge of our box with our defenders on the half way line!

    Arthur Fairclough - the real originator of the high press.
    An VAR wor a bloke in a black n white striped shirt wearing glasses an inch thick.
    Or wor that the referee?

    Edit. Just as a footnote to this thread I'm a distant relative of Arthur Fairclough. We're first cousins twice removed.

    No, Amos was the rider in reality, Amos the Donkey is a popular misconception.

    Mine was at Bramall Lane. I understand that, like many others, he walked there and back.

    My Great Grandad was at Bramall Lane in 1912. Wounded & gassed at the Somme in 1916. Made 97.

    This Railway Poster was offering day trips to London to watch the 1910 Cup Final - could be included in the museum too Dave ?
