Some more reflections.
This is not an appropriate place to be advancing unproven theories about the subject, in deference to the seller's mission, but I can't help but comment that Manager Watkins fills my bill. First, he would be the man who owned formal dress for such an occasion. Or at least think it appropriate to be so attired for such an occasion and to seize the opportunity to honor himself. Second, so far as I know, Helen Dauvray herself commissioned the medals, and I don't think the players had much say as to the distribution. Each medal is engraved on the obverse with the players name and position, but it is surely unknown whether or not Manager Watkins received one.
