Roy Foulds
Robert Thompson Foulds (27 April 1906 – 28 February 1987) was an English international rugby union player. Foulds was born in West Derby, Liverpool, and educated at King William's College on the Isle of Man. He joined Waterloo while still a schoolboy and was a member of their junior sides for several seasons before making the first XV in 1924–25, then progressing into the Lancashire representative team a season later. A strong scrummager, Foulds was only the second Waterloo forward, after Joe Periton, to gain an England cap. He was capped twice during the 1929 Five Nations. His debut against Wales at Twickenham was as a front-rower and he was moved to the back-row for their match with Ireland at the same ground.

West Derby
West Derby ( ) is an area of Liverpool, Merseyside, England, in the east of the city. At the 2011 Census, the population was 14,382. History West Derby Mentioned in the ''Domesday Book'', West Derby achieved significance far earlier than Liverpool itself. The name West Derby comes from an Old Norse word meaning "place of the wild beasts" or "wild deer park" and refers to the deer park (now Croxteth Park) established there by King Edward the Confessor. West Derby became the main administrative area in today's Liverpool for the Norman Conquest and was the largest area within the West Derby Hundred which covered most of south west Lancashire. Contrary to popular belief, the original Earls of Derby were not conferred their title from West Derby, but from the county of Derbyshire, Robert de Ferrers being the first Earl. Subsequent titles were created and bestowed on the Stanley Family. The Derby (horse race) is named after the 12th Earl. Note that the term 'local Der ...

People From West Derby
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
