What is recorded here
Thomas Butler is a birthplace in County Waterford, Ireland. Perhaps a boy pulled rope until his palms bled, then carried that strength across the sea to represent Britain in Olympic tug of war. Maybe the field still remembers the weight of his arms, and every man who walks it inherits a little of that stubborn force.
Why this person is known: British tug of war Olympian (1871–1928)
