The scorer of one of Upton Park’s goals at the 1900 Olympics, outside-right R. R. Turner, as he was commonly known, was the youngest member of the gold medal winning team. He played for Upton Park between 1899 and 1906, and also turned out for Crouch End Wanderers alongside his brother Alfred, who was a County player for Middlesex and a League footballer with Bristol City and Nottingham Forest. Richard Rennie Turner was a merchant, and later lived in Singapore where he was a plantation manager. (Extra information was supplied by Peter Hamersley, Upton Park FC Historian)
