Club career

Early career

He began his career in 1938 as a reserve with Huddersfield Town as an apprentice, having joined them from Cramlington Black Watch as an apprentice.[2] He also appeared twice for Mossley during the 1939–40 season.[2]

During World War Two he was based in Perth, Scotland, as an instructor with the army, joining Dundee United initially as a triallist. His scoring record in season 1941–42 was extraordinary and in one match, against St Bernard's, he set the record for a Dundee United player with six goals in one game. He was top scorer in that season.[3] He scored 87 goals in 73 wartime matches for the club. He also played one match (scoring one goal) as a wartime guest for Aberdeen in May 1945.[4]

Dundee

On the eve of the 1945–46 season, he signed for Dundee with a fee of £2,000 being paid to Huddersfield.[1] During his time with the club he scored 95 goals in 73 matches, including 79 league goals in 53 league matches.[1] In 1945–46 and 1946–47 Dundee captured successive Scottish League B Divisional titles,[1] returning to the top flight for the 1947–48 season. His spell at Dundee included scoring 13 goals across two successive matches in March 1947 when he scored 6, then 7 goals in matches which Dundee won 10–2 and 10–0.[5]

Portsmouth

In May 1948 he signed for Portsmouth[6] for £11,000.[7] During his time with the club he made seven appearances, scoring four goals.[6]

Everton

In September 1948 he joined Merseyside club Everton, making ten appearances and scoring one goal.[6] His final competitive match for the club took place on 18 December 1948 against Newcastle[8] when he was injured during the match.[9]

He spent the following summer looking for another club in Scotland, but eventually took up the player manager position at Consett, in Durham, with a house and job provided by the club as part of the agreement.[7]

Berwick Rangers

He then signed for Berwick Rangers in August 1951 where he scored 49 times, including 35 league goals in the 1951–52 and 1952–52 seasons.[10]

return to Dundee United

In August 1953 he returned to Dundee United, playing in three league cup matches that month, scoring twice in one of the matches.[3]

Brechin City

He joined Brecin City in 1954 when they were top of 'C' Division. He scored in one of the two matches before 400 fans travelled to the last match of the season against Celtic 'A', a match with which attracted an 11,000 crowd. He scored the only goal to secure the title and Division 'B' status for the club.[2]
