Spelling of second name

The London Hearts site shows his second name as "Smyth" rather than "Smith" as does IFFHS (Scroll down to 1896). www.allfootballers.co. does likewise, so should not the article be amended (and renamed) to show this? --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 16:57, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you're right, it is spelled this way on his grave in Cathcart cemetery, Glasgow. Smyth was his mother's maiden name. I'll make the changes. --92.10.19.227 (talk) 20:45, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
