Career
He began his career at Raith Rovers, before moving south of the border in March 1934 to join compatriot Sandy MacFarlane"s Blackpool. He remained at the seaside for fourteen years, notching-up 243 league appearances for the Tangerines. Wallace made his debut at Lincoln City on February 17, 1934, and became almost an ever-present.
He was replaced by his understudy, Joe Robinson.
Wallace"s argument was over contractual terms, and he eventually joined Derby County for a nominal £500 fee in February 1948. Derby were knocked out, and it was Blackpool who went on to Wembley from the other semi-final.
