Frank Butler

A key goalscorer during the pre-war years, Butler played for Tiverton between 1928 and 1939 and amassed somewhere in the region of 200 goals for the club. Previous research suggested his final total was 219, but that would seem to include goals in friendlies. It has also come to light that many goals attributed to Butler were in fact scored by his brother Geroge.
