Career
He played in The Football League for his hometown club, Chester City, during the 1970s. A product of Chester"s youth policy, Potter made his Chester first team debut in a Welsh Cup semi–final against Cardiff City in March 1973, with his league debut arriving against Hartlepool in the second game of 1973-1974 while regulars Dave Pountney and Regional Matthewson were ruled out injured. Potter had to wait until March 1974 for his next five league outings and he added just one league appearance during the club"s promotion season of 1974-1975 before leaving the club and professional football.
