Career
He played as a left-sided or centre forward. Gallimore was born in East Vale, Longton, Staffordshire. He played local football before signing for Stoke in 1903.
He became a useful forward for a struggling Stoke side, scoring 17 goals in 85 matches.
With Stoke in financial difficulties in 1907-1908, he and team-mate Albert Sturgess joined Sheffield United in May 1908, but he failed to establish himself in his two seasons with the "Blades". He then signed for Second Division club Birmingham in 1910.
He began the 1910-1911 season in the starting eleven at outside left, but lost his place in December 1910 and rarely played again. He moved back to non-league football with Leek in 1911.
Gallimore died in Stoke-on-Trent in 1949 aged about 63.
