Capped 19 times by England at amateur level he was a member of the 1956 Great Britain squad but never got to play in Melbourne due to an injury and was flown home. A surveyor by profession he later turned to advertising, working with the Daily Mirror, Capitol Radio and the Sporting Life. A centre-half, he played for Hendon and was on the losing side in the 1955 FA Amateur Cup final against Bishop Auckland. In 1962 he was appointed the manager of Barnet, and held the post for eight years. During that time he signed Ricky George for the club. Ricky is remembered in football folklore for his wonderful goal for Hereford United against Newcastle United in the FA Cup in 1972.
