Notes
- ^ Some older sources list him as a Manchester Central player before signing for Manchester City,[2][5] but that club was not formed until 1928, and their match programme from the 1928–29 season describes his move from Droylsden to Manchester City as part of a local football news feature, not as that of a former player.[4]
