I have Edward Inkerman Bell playing for Palace feb 1907. Scoring twice in the game mentioned above on the 13th, he also played v Leyton a d 1-1 on the 18th I have us being in the United League that season . He is mentioned in the Southampton Alphabet as being born in Gibralter 1886 playing for South Farnboro then Palace and Southampton March 1907 back to South Farnboro 1908 playing for Barrow 1911 and then Portsmouth 1912. All the Southampton book says his father was a soldier in the 7th regiment. he played 4 games for Southampton the same for Portsmouth. I cannot find any mention of Donald Bell playing in the year mentioned, but I do not have every reserve line-up. Of course the Southampton book may have the details wrong, and so may I!
