He bought a health farm and a gymnasium but fell victim to the great depression and died penniless in New York on 29 July 1927.

How can this be, as he died more than 2 years before the depression started? -- Arwel 16:41, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Ouch! I must admit to knowing next to nothing about the Great Depression, then neither does the BBC. My research about his death revealed two web sites that supported my assumption:- the BBC page - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/wales/1901425.stm plus the much respected Welsh Warriors site :- http://www.johnnyowen.com/freddie_welsh.html.

I suppose it is safer not to mention the Great depressian at all. --Emdec 17:59, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
