Albert 'Alt' Jackson was football mad. He was a Mossley supporter from being a child and he joined the committee as a teenager after playing a few games for Mossley Juniors prior to 1909. Apparently injury had prevented him from taking his playing career further . He was assistant secretary to club founder James Howarth and became Club Secretary following the end of the Great War in 1918. He was Secretary until February 1923 when the entire committee resigned en bloc after a row with the Supporters Club but returned to the helm in 1927 after Mr Howarth's health forced his resignation. Jackson gradually had more connection with team affairs and trainers Bob Brittland, Albert Onions and later J.C.Stanley were answerable to him. He stood down again in May 1930 but by November had returned after his replacement Harry Heginbottom had failed to work out but resigned in April 1932 to become manager of the then powerful Ashton National. Following World War II Alt Jackson returned to Seel Park as Manager/Secretary but reverted to secretary in 1947 following the appointment of ex Stalybridge Celtic manager Joe Barlow. Alt Jackson departed from Mossley AFC to be replaced as Secretary by Robbie Buckley in May 1948. |
