Career
At the end of the season he became a Leeds player for what was quite a high fee at the time (£12,000). Able to switch wings at will, he was a creative and talented player who created many goals for John Charles as well as scoring a few himself. A broken leg in November 1952 kept him out of the side for 9 months, but he had lost nothing on his return.
He left Leeds for a brief spell back at Newport making his total appearances 85 for Newport in the two spells, scoring 17 goals.
He returned to Bradford Park Avenue where he lasted less than a season before retiring. At the time of his death in 2014, he was the oldest surviving Welsh international football player.
