Salford Reporter 17 February 1894:

...And Rangeley scored a well-earned try
Tho' from the goal too far away.
"Oh! I'm one of the boys
Say what you choose of me
Don't be afraid to chalk up one
I'm Rangeley and I'll show you how to run
I've got plenty of N.R.G.
Fond of moving my joints
Always the same and true to my name
And able to add up the points."

Salford Chronicle 24 March 1894: "Rangeley's best point was intercepting passes, which he did wonderfully well."
