Began his
career with Birkenhead Schools, before playing for Parkside FC, and while
he was playing with the Northern Nomads club, he assisted the Everton FC
side during 1922-23. Signed with Cheshire League side, Whitchurch FC, in
September 1923, from where he signed for Tranmere Rovers FC in 1924.
After twenty goals in 62 league appearances, Sheffield

save them from relegation. He did, and continued to turn around the
fortunes of Wednesday. He scored 122 goals in 382 league
appearances. Signed for Ipswich Town FC on 16 August 1938,
having made just three league appearances, his registration was

good-looking young London actor who came into the limelight with a scheme
for raising £80,000 to build a theatre in Sheffield to replace the Theatre
Royal, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the second division
at Marlborough street Police Court, London, yesterday for stealing money
to the value of £11 from Ellis Rimmer, the Sheffield Wednesday footballer,
and A. M. Colbert, a Sheffield journalist, who were staying at the Regent
Palace Hotel on holiday." - Monday, 15 June 1936, The Daily
Independent |
