John Hallows
Edit ProfileCareer
He started his footballing career with Liverpool Bluecoats, then Willenhall Swifts, before moving to the Football League with West Bromwich Albion. He was released after just a few months and instead returned to non-league with Grays Thurrock. In November 1930 he was signed by Bradford City for £600.
He finished his first two seasons at Valley Parade as the club"s top goal-scorer with 19 and 21 goals respectively, all in the league, including five against Barnsley in a 9–1 triumph.
He added another 29 goals in his next two seasons, but just five in his final two. His appearances in his last season, however, were restricted because of a two-month suspension imposed after being sent off in a Midland League game against Rotherham United.
But he made just 13 league appearances, scoring four goals, at Barnsley before he retired. He set up his own tailoring trade in Walkden, near Bolton, before he died in August 1963.
