When the Football League introduced the League Cup in the early 1960s footballers played in 3 domestic competitions: League, FA Cup and League Cup. Which player has the dubious distinction of being the first to be sent off in all 3 competitions? aka as the first player to have a shower in all 3 competitions before full-time, lol

mate, nice guess but Derek's not the man
this player isn't well known - his FA Cup sending off was in the 1957/58 season, his League sending off was in 65/66, and he completed the treble when he was sent off in a League Cup tie during the 1966/67 season

Sorry, doesn't help much. From age, I would guess W. Moore or Ernie Phythian, but can't find the evidence. Quite a coincidence, though - my father was born in Hartlepool !
