G. Wiley

Wiley was one of the three goalkeepers in the original Great Britain squad for the 1920 Antwerp Olympics but when Dulwich Hamlet keeper Bert Coleman pulled out, Wiley went as number two to the first choice goalkeeper Fred Mitchell who played in Britain’s only game, a 3-1 defeat by Norway. At club level Wiley played for the north-east teams South Bank, whom he joined after their 1913 FA Amateur Cup win, and Belmont Mines Athletic. He served with the Royal Field Artillery during the War.
