Biography

Served in India during National Service, playing for the East Lancashire Regiment in the ill-fated Williams Cup Final that had to be abandoned when the main stand collapsed. Worked (and played cricket) for Harvey’s Tannery and was the regular custodian at London Road for a number of seasons after progressing through the reserves.

He kept goal in the hefty 10-1 FA Cup defeat at Droylsden United in September 1949 only for the Droylsden manager to gather his players round and clap the keeper off the pitch. “What are you clapping me off for?” Harold asked. “Well, if it hadn’t been for you the score would have been 30-1,” came the reply!

Again turned out for his home-town club during the 1953/54 campaign, appearing in the Crewe & District League the following season with Nantwich Boys Club (54/55). Sadly passed at the young age of 44.
