Lewis Botto
Lewis Anthony Botto (12 July 1898 – 4 June 1953), also written Louis Botto, was an English professional footballer who made 100 appearances in the Football League in the 1920s playing as a goalkeeper for Durham City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Norwich City and Nelson. He also played non-league football for Jarrow Rangers, Hebburn Colliery, Shildon and Jarrow. Life and career Botto was born in 1898 in Jarrow, County Durham, a son of William Botto and his wife Sarah, who kept a common lodging-house in Stanley Street. William Botto died in 1910, and the 1911 Census shows the 12-year-old Lewis resident in the Chadwick Memorial Industrial School in Carlisle. Sarah Botto died in 1911. Botto played football for Jarrow Rangers and Hebburn Colliery before signing amateur form with Football League Third Division North club Durham City in October 1923. He made his debut in the 1923–24 FA Cup first qualifying round match against Dipton United on 6 October, which Durham lost 1–0. Because Durham had a league match on the same day, they fielded a reserve side in the FA Cup, an offence for which the club was fined £5 by the Football Association and required to pay the Dipton club £10
