Lest We Forget - John Abbott King (England) 09/08/1916
John Abbott King, known as Jack, was born in Burley in Leeds, and was one of the shortest men to wear an England jersey. His height of 5ft 5in (1.65m) was in contrast to his chest measurement of 46 inches, giving him the nickname of "Pocket Hercules".
