Attached to my grandfathers watch-chain is a hallmarked medallion inscribed "Liverpool Wednesday League" on the front and on the reverse " his name (P O'Hanlon) and "Lunts United 1913/14".

There is second medallion too which is does not have his name but is transcribed "BFL Div2 1908-09"Looking again I realise the front crest is the same on both(image below)
