Although he was a regular goaltender for Essex and Plaistow United in the 1930s, Alfred North was generally the second choice behind Les Ablett in both the England and Great Britain teams. Ablett started the first three games for Britain at the 1936 Olympics, but North did take over for the remaining matches. Shortly after the Berlin Games, North announced his retirement from the international scene.
