The Chadwick family had a bakery in King Street and two of the sons, Edgar and Albert, eventually worked their way through the local junior teams to play for the Rovers. In the season before the Football League commenced Edgar started to display the probing, penetrative form that took him to international standing and became an integral part of the Rovers' team. However his father considered him underpaid and negotiated a better contract with Everton. Edgar was reluctant to leave but when the Rovers found out that a deal had been struck they told him to honour it. Everton gained a player who played nearly three hundred games and scored close to a hundred goals, an artist with an unusual hard streak. In 1900, unhappy at Burnley, he attempted to negotiate a deal back to the Rovers but the club declined to pay the asking price and he had to slip into the Southern League. He coached in Holland and Germany when he retired, eventually returning to Blackburn and resuming work in the bakery.
