Brian Biggins (born 19 May 1940,
The Football League for Chester
.
Biggins became one of Chester's youngest goalkeepers when he made his first team debut aged 17 in April 1958 against Rochdale, having already played regular reserve team football.[1] The following month he played in both games in the final of the Welsh Cup and performed well even though Chester lost a replay to rivals Wrexham.[1]
Despite playing just a handful of league matches for Chester, he has the distinction of appearing in the club's final match in
Football League Division Four when the league system was restructured in 1958.[1] He remained with the club until leaving for non–league side Pwllheli in 1961.[1]
