Career
Furby was one of several players from Staffordshire who joined Saint Mary"s in 1894. His first recorded match was at centre-half in a Hampshire County Cricket Club Charity Cup tie on 18 April – he retained his place for the remaining two matches in this tournament including the final against Royal Artillery five days later, when he scored in a 5–0 victory. Although he was an adaptable half-back and a good crosser of the ball, during the inaugural Southern League season, Furby"s first-team opportunities were restricted due to the form of Ernie Taylor and Lachie Thomson.
After only five league and two outings, he left the "Saints" to join arch-rivals Freemantle.
Furby"s date of death is not known, although he was still alive in 1969, aged 98.
