Without his notes we may have struggled to find that Gorevin's first name was Charlie and that he went to the USA the summer after playing for Celtic.

I think it is great also to see another Sligo connection with our club. I wonder if Walfrid and Charlie discussed life back in the auld county back in those heady days of mid 1888?

The discovery of Charlie’s burial place in the Gorevin family plot came at the end of a campaign by the newly formed Celtic Graves Society to identify the final resting places of those who played in that match on May 28, 1888. That first game, which resulted in a 5-2 friendly defeat of Rangers, featured Sligo born Charlie Gorevin. The search for Charlie by the Society, involved confirming his identity and then tracking his life story through historical documentation. The Gorevin family was found to have emigrated from Glasgow to the USA. Charlie passed away on Apr 26, 1915 aged 48, following a successful stateside sporting career. Celtic Graves Society has been established, following massive interest from members across the globe, in the history of the club and those responsible through the years for its success. The Society aims to cherish the memory of those whose contribution, large or small, has been the cornerstone of Celtic's remarkable story. They put the wishes of families first, and with those families the aim is to identify, locate and honour the final resting places of their loved ones. The Society has now identified the final resting places of all 11 members of that first team and is engaged in identifying the remaining family of those players before moving on to the next task. The organisation’s aim is to remember all of those who played such an important part in the club’s beginnings. As the epitaph on John Thomson's gravestone reads: "They never die who live in the hearts they leave behind."?
