By Harold Heys, local historian IT WAS Darwen Football Club’s biggest crowd of the inter-war years. More than 12,000 packed the Anchor Ground to see the Welsh Wizard turning on the style. He had everyone in raptures with a dazzling performance that was cheered to the echo. It was a super spectacle and even the hard-bitten reporters were impressed. “Memorable” said the Darwen News chap. “Impressive,” said the Northern Daily Telegraph man. Praise indeed, considering that the star of the show was 66 years old. However, the vast crowd that turned up wasn’t there to watch a Lancashire Combination football match, but to listen to David Lloyd-George, former Prime Minister, supporting the Liberal candidate for the 1929 General Election, Sir Herbert Samuel.
For the last 100 years, the behaviour of British prime minister David Lloyd George at the end of the Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations has been the subject of much speculation and controversy.
The Welsh Wizard, as he was known, was a skilled negotiator who could use bluff, flattery and coercion in equal measure to get his way.
On the dramatic night of December 5th, 1921, Lloyd George pressed the Irish delegation to sign. With a characteristic flourish he produced a document seeming to suggest that he and Arthur Griffith, the head of the Irish delegation, had agreed in November to a Boundary Commission.
