SANDY YOUNG AND W. BALMBR Go SOUTH
Liverpool Echo - Friday 09 June 1911
The Everton crowd will meet and will miss-" him” being Sandy Young, who has left the Mersey city after stay of eleven years. No more, shall we see the Scot-hitching up his “breeks” no more shall we see the hand guarding the solitary lock of hair that adorn, his brow. Young will be missed. Long ago I pointed out that he was an excellent advertisement for the club, though I realized that his style of play bewildered his opponents end and his own side, and that at times he exceeded the reasonable limit of dribbling. Sandy has gone to Tottenham, and has borne out the exclusive statement made by the paper many days ago. Another Evertonian William Balmer has decided to give his service to Croyden Common again. The Club thought highly of William’s services, and greatly regretted his refusal to sign until financial matters had bene straightened. The old full back wanted to play for Tranmere, but a stiffish transfer price was placed on his head. Now Balmer and the Common clubs have become friends again, and the ex-Everton player will act as the leader of the Southern club.

WALTER SCOTT
June 29, 1911. Evening Telegraph
Walter Scott, the Everton goalkeeper, has been transferred to Sunderland. Scott was connected with Grimsby Town before he signed on for Everton at the beginning of the 1909-10 season. It was rumored that the Liverpool club paid £1000 for his transfer. Scott is considered one of the most able of the younger custodians, but owing to the great form of his namesake, who has assisted Everton for many seasons past, he has not commanded a regular place in First League football. While at Grimsby Scott was noted for saving penalty kicks.
