Career
Harris began his career with amateur club Queen"s Park during the Second World War. He had briefly served in the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy during the War, but was sent back to university when it was discovered that he was a dental student, dentists being in short supply during the War. He also played for Scotland in one wartime international.
He also played in the 1953 Scottish Cup Final for Aberdeen, but they were defeated by Rangers.
After leaving Aberdeen, Harris signed for Airdrieonians and played there for two seasons before retiring in 1955. In 1969, Harris was part of a consortium attempting to take over Aberdeen F.C., along with fellow ex-Aberdeen player Don Emery.
The takeover bid was ultimately unsuccessful. Harris died in September 2000, aged 77.
