Small 25 page scrapbook presumably put together by someone in the Wolverhampton area (as it's a "County Borough of Wolverhampton Education Committee" school exercise book - but there's no date on either it nor any of the photos entered into it.

I'd like to put a year to it and there are little hints throughout it such as "signed last season" etc.........so thought I'd post up 3 random pages in case anyone can help. Sometime in the late 1920s perhaps?
Thanks.

Charles Foweraker was Bolton manager from 1919 to 1944
Ted Vizard played for Wales 1911 to 1926
Joe Smith scored a club record 38 goals for Bolton in 1920-21
So the top page would be from season 1921-1922

Great detective work.
thanks - I'll slip a note inside now with that date.
