Playing career

While working as a clerk at the Southampton Telegraph Office, Deacon joined the football team of the St. Mary's Young Men's Association in November 1885, playing in their first game at the age of 16.[1] Described by the local press as one of the team's "phenomenal juniors", Deacon helped St. Mary's win the Hampshire Junior Cup three seasons running in 1887–88, 1888–89, and 1889–90, playing in 15 of the 17 games during this period, mostly at right-half.[1]

In the following two seasons, Deacon played mainly at centre-half, as St. Mary's won the Hampshire Senior Cup twice and the Hampshire County Cricket Club Charity Cup once.[1] He died in October 1893 of a brain tumour.[1]
