Described as a human tank in Scotland the fans were astonished to find the player was light and mobile. Signed together with Tucker Turner he was forced to fight for his place with Clarrie Bourton, the scoring record of both indicating that goal scoring was a simpler art at the time. A move to Liverpool was brief and his subsequent return to Ewood unproductive. He moved to live in the Midlands and was assistant coach at Coventry.
