Jack Windmill
Edit ProfileEducation
Having been born in Brierley Hill he attended Moor Street Council School in the same town.
Career
This was his only appearance of the 1903-1904 season and he would have to wait until 22 October 1904 for his next game. In the 1905-1906 season his opportunities to play were less and he turned-out in only 13 league games. In the following three seasons, however, he made only a single appearance in the league in colours.
Windmill, as with many football players of the time, had employment away from football, in his case teaching.
In 1910 the local education committee forced him to end his footballing career as they felt that it interfered with his teaching duties. Windmill saw active service in World War I in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment.
After the war he continued in the teaching profession and was appointed headmaster of Brook Street School, Wordsley in 1922. Windmill died at his Kingswinford home in 1927 aged 46.
