During his Manchester United career Moger made a total of 266 appearances and was a member of the side that won the club's first major honours, namely League Championship titles in 1907-08 and 1910-11 and the F.A. Cup in 1908-09. Harry Moger died in Manchester 16th June 1927, aged 47. Provenance: Sold at Christie's Glasgow, October 1993.
