I have tagged this article as it has been copied virtually verbatim from Keith Warsop's book "The Early FA Cup Finals" and needs to be rewritten to avoid charges of copyright theft. Bikeroo ( talk) 23:00, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
I have edited out the imaginative statement (which in first place seems to have been directly lifted from Warsop's book), as a reading of the original newspaper report today reveals no mention of prizes given, and it does not describe the costume:
He did not win a prize but, far from London and during the winter months, his appearance in the gaudy Clapham colours of cerise and French grey would have stood out flamboyantly from his surroundings. Cloptonson ( talk) 19:21, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
I have withdrawn from the page the sentence below until a reliable source can be located for the comment, as it was attributed to Bell's Life in London but the footnote attached wrongly states C.W. Alcock was its editor. He was not, but he was editor of Football, A Weekly Record of Game, in which I found comments on CALJ but I have lost record of the issue's date and page. I also doubt the comment as worded appears in the transcript of the Bell's Life report. Perhaps someone with access to Alcock's magazine files (I got mine from the Newspaper Library at Colindale, N London) could help here? I have reproduced the citation/footnote as I wrote it to facilitate checking against date.
In the latter match at that stage of his career, C.W. Alcock commented, "Lloyd-Jones seems to have lost the brilliant dash which characterized his play in past seasons though much of the time he did a lot of useful work". [1]
