Manchester City player?

A William George "Bill" Harper played in goal for Manchester City four times in 1923-24 (twice in February and twice in March). His birthplace is listed as Bothwell. It seems highly likely that this is the same player, yet according to the article he played for Hibs in that season's cup final, which makes me a little uncertain.

According to www.allfootballers.com, the Bill Harper who played for Manchester City in 1923-24, was born on 15 November 1900. He also played for Sunderland (28 games, 1921-1923), Crystal Palace (57 games, 1924-1926) & Luton Town (31 games, 1926-27). --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 19:01, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
