Club(s) |
A goalkeeper
with the army on national service. After the war, Baynham was playing for
Erdington Rovers and Bromford Amateurs. Baynham was apparently
persuaded by a friend to join Worcester City FC in 1949 after declining a
trial with Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and within two years was signed by
Luton Town FC in November 1951 for £1000, where he had to share the
goalkeeping duties with Bernard Streten until he claimed the number one
spot for himself in 1955. He made 388 appearances for the Hatters
between 1952 and 1965. |
