Playing career
Chelsea
A full back, Maskell began his career in the youth system at First Division club Chelsea.[3] He was a part of the first team squad for the 1969–70 season, but failed to make an appearance.[3] He was released at the end of the season.[3]
Brentford
Maskell's former Chelsea youth team manager Frank Blunstone brought him to Fourth Division club Brentford in July 1970.[1][3] Maskell made his professional debut in a 5–1 defeat to Oldham Athletic on 5 September 1970.[4] It was his only appearance for the club and his contract was cancelled shortly afterwards,[3] due to an alleged serious breach of discipline.[5]
Stevenage Athletic
After his release from Brentford, Maskell dropped into non-league football and signed for Southern League First Division club Stevenage Athletic.[3]
