Career

McArdle was born in Durham and started playing football for local clubs Trimdon Grange Colliery and former league club Durham City.[1] In 1933 he joined Stoke City as back up for England international winger Joe Johnson.[1] Johnson was injured for six matches during the 1933–34 season and McArdle took his place and scored once against Newcastle United.[1] When Johnson recovered from his injury he took back his place in the side and McArdle dropped back into the reserves. He made just one more appearance for Stoke which came in the 1934–35 season before leaving for regular football in November 1935 joining Exeter City. He soon moved back north to Carlisle United and went on to play for Barnsley, Stockport County, Gateshead and finally Crewe Alexandra.[1]

gollark: Sometimes I really hate Android. It makes it really annoying to access internals and do backups etc., you can't even change the DNS settings, and you get no updates after a year or so.
