About this audio guide
This guide to Manchester Southern Cemetery follows Billy Meredith, a Welsh winger born in eighteen seventy-four who played with a toothpick in his mouth and became one of football's first superstars. It moves through Edwardian Manchester, a season-long ban, a defection across town from City to United, and the first stirrings of a players' union. Best heard on the paths near the main Barlow Moor Road entrance, among the Victorian monuments.
