Career

Gallimore was born in East Vale, Longton, Staffordshire. He played local football before signing for Stoke in 1903.[2] He became a useful forward for a struggling Stoke side, scoring 17 goals in 85 matches. With Stoke in financial difficulties in 1907–08, he and teammate Albert Sturgess joined Sheffield United in May 1908,[3] but he failed to establish himself in his two seasons with the "Blades". He then signed for Second Division club Birmingham in 1910.[2] He began the 1910–11 season in the starting eleven at outside left, but lost his place in December 1910 and rarely played again.[4] He moved back to non-league football with Leek in 1911.[2] Gallimore died in Stoke-on-Trent in 1949 aged about 63.[2]
