Place and date of birth

[edit]

Sources differ as to McEleny's place and date of birth. Joyce gives the place of birth as Glasgow on 6 February 1872, which is the same as the Aston Villa player database. The Celtic wiki and the Swindon player database both give the date of birth as 3 March 1873, although the Celtic wiki adds "disputed", adding the place of birth as "Raymoghy, Ireland". As the book "Northern Irish Football Biographies"[1] includes a chapter on McEleney, this would tend to support the birthplace as being in Northern Ireland, rather than Glasgow.

The Burnley FC history book, The Clarets Chronicles, also gives 6 February 1872 in Glasgow. BigDom 08:52, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
