Jack Thorogood
Edit ProfileCareer
He played as an outside left. He began his football career with Frickley Colliery before joining Birmingham of the Football League First Division in November 1930. Even when Curtis left, Thorogood failed to impose himself, and in the 1934 close season he moved to Millwall, where he benefited from regular football to score at a rate of a goal every three games.
He signed for Doncaster Rovers shortly before the Second World War, and made guest appearances for several clubs during the war.
After retiring from football Thorogood took up tennis. Thorogood died in Bridlington, Yorkshire, in 1970 at the age of 59.
