In the mid-fifties great things were expected from Reg; however, he failed to live up to his early potential and moved on after 4 appearances for Newcastle.
1959 saw him move to Charlton Athletic and then onto Ashington.
Evans worked as a brewer for Newcastle Breweries for nearly 40 years until 1996, when he became a tour guide at the brewery.[1]
