After playing sporadic reserve games as an amateur he improved rapidly, especially when moved from the right to the left. Naturally two footed he annoyed the crowd because of his inconsistency but some noted judges believed that he was a better player than both Jack Milne and Arthur Cunliffe, who both played for their country. He took the unusual step of moving to Scotland but at Falkirk at last found the consistency to become a star player. He died at his home in Welsby Road, Leyland just after his 77th birthday.
