Playing Career |
Club(s) |
Although born in Manchester, Hardman was brought up in Blackpool, and that
was where he played his schoolboy and junior football. He was playing for
the Northern Nomads FC before joining Blackpool FC in 1900.
Everton FC poached Hardman in 1903, but instead of reporting the case to
the authorities, Everton agreed to pay the seaside club £50 and a
promise, should they need an emergency left-winger, Everton would provide
one. This was fulfilled when they signed
Marshall McEwan a year later. Hardman took time off for
studies and practising law, before he joined
Manchester United FC on 26 August 1908, but was not able to break into
the first team. Transferred to Bradford City AFC on 15 January 1909. Joined Stoke FC on 4
February 1911, retiring in 1913, but played for Stoke as a guest during
the war. Throughout, he was known to assist the Northern Nomads FC and
remained a leading amateur figure. |
