Born in Portsmouth in October 1921, his early adult life coincided with the Second World War, at a time when professional football competitions such as the Football League and FA Cup were suspended. He joined Manchester City as a professional in October 1945, and in the 1946–47 season he played and scored for the club in the Second Division. However, he was released on a free transfer at the end of the season, and joined Watford, of the Third Division South.[3] He played 64 matches in all competitions for the side, scoring 6 goals, before leaving on a free transfer at the end of the 1950–51 season. He later played for Canterbury City, who at the time were playing in the Kent League.[3]
