Sidney Evans
Edit ProfileCareer
After being spotted playing amateur football, Evans was brought to Cardiff City by then manager Fred Stewart in the club"s first season in The Football League, making his debut in a 1–0 defeat to Leeds United. In his second game, he scored what would later turn out to be his only goal for the club during a 3–0 victory over Nottingham Forest. There he played as back-up to Joe Spence, but he did not make his debut until April 1924, playing in the last six matches of the 1923-1924 season, as the forward line was shuffled to cover the absent James Miller.
His only two goals came in the 2–2 draw at home to Clapton Orient on 21 April 1924.
Spence was ever-present in the 1924-1925 season as Manchester United were promoted back to the First Division, and Evans took the opportunity to leave the club for Southern League side Pontypridd in August 1925.
