He earned the medal in 1857 for his actions at the Battle of Balaclava in 1854.

No fewer than 22 players or previous NUFC players lost their lives in #ww1, maybe most notable was Donald Simpson Bell who was ex the only footballer to win the #victoriacross, he had signed for Bradford PA just before the war.
