Club career
Turnbull played for Scottish clubs East Stirlingshire, Dundee, Falkirk and Rangers,[2] before moving to England to sign for Preston North End and later the now dissolved Leyton. In May 1907 he was bought by Manchester United,[3] where he won a league title, an FA Cup and the Charity Shield. He scored a total of 45 goals in 78 games for the club, with his best season being 1908–09, in which he scored 22 times in 28 appearances in all competitions. He was sold to Bradford Park Avenue in September 1910, and later played for Chelsea.[4]
