Irish keeper with two caps to his name - against Wales in a 1-0 win
in Belfast before he'd even made his debut for Leeds, and against
England in a 0-7 defeat at Manchester the following season. Despite
the latter result, he still could have been in line for more honours
but for the intervention of World War 2. He returned to Newry for most
of the war, but took up his place with Leeds again in 1945. He
remained with the club until the start of the 1949 season when he
departed for Halifax. He later did some coaching with the Shaymen and
scouted for Leeds.
Lynton Banks-Davies says: I'm searching for any pictures of him -
can anyone help?
