Here's one more post on the extended Oyler family in Kent, England. In 1922, Potter Oyler (a son or grandson of George Oyler?) was elected President of Sittingbourne Football Club. The team are nicknamed the Brickies, and they still play in the Isthmian Football League in the lower divisions of English football.

Oyler served as President in the 1922 season, and did not seek the seat in 1923. The team saw some of its greatest success in the 1922 season, advancing in the FA Cup and scoring 102 goals against 20 goals given up. Again, this is a cool connection to English football, even if on a distant branch.
