Club Career |
|
Club(s) |
Pickering played junior football in Blackburn, from where he
joined his local league club, Blackburn Rovers FC as an amateur. He turned
professional on 19 January 1958 as a full-back, but still managed
123 league appearances, and after moving up front, scored 59 goals.
Everton FC broke the transfer record when they spent £82,000 for
his signature in March 1964, he returned 97 league appearances
with 56 goals. In August 1967, Birmingham City FC then splashed
out £50,000 for him, and he made another 74 league appearances
and scored another 27 goals. Blackpool FC then signed Pickering in
June 1969 for £45,000, scoring 24 in 49 league appearances.
In March 1971, Pickering returned home when Blackburn Rovers FC
signed him for a £10,000 transfer fee. He only scored twice in
his eleven league appearances. His career ended with a two month
trial at Brighton & Hove Albion FC in February 1972. |
