ANOTHER EVERTONIAN FOR ST.MIRREN
Athletic News - Monday 14 July 1913
Evidently Paisley St.Mirren have faith in the Everton players.  A year ago they secured Magner, who has proved a valuable asset to the club, and recently Davidson’s transfer was obtained.  Still another Everton player goes to the town of thread and poetry in Walter Holbem, who has been at Goodison Park two seasons, after a time with Sheffield Wednesday, by whom he was introduced to English League football.  As a member of the Wednesday, Holbem, who plays right or left back, was included in the Sheffield team for the inter-city match with Glasgow on two occasions, and his inclusion in St. Mirren’s side should greatly strengthen the defence.  Twenty-five years of age, he stands 5ft 8in, and weigh’s 11st 7lbs.
