Adrian Capes

This brought the attention of bigger clubs, and they both signed for First Division side Nottingham Forest in August 1896.[1] He scored seven goals in 29 top-flight games in 1896–97 before returning to his hometown the next season with Burton Swifts, back in the Second Division.[2] He opened the 1905–06 season with just two goals (both against Chesterfield) in 12 league games and was transferred to nearby Stoke in November 1905, after receiving a recommendation from his brother who had a good two-year spell at the Victoria Ground.He played 13 matches in the 1906–07 campaign and claimed goals against Everton and Notts County, but left in February 1907 with Stoke heading towards relegation.[1] After almost two years out of the game, he rejoined phoenix club Port Vale, who were competing in the North Staffordshire & District League, in December 1908.
