Career
Blackwell played for Chapel-en-le-Frith, before joining
The Old Recreation Ground on 24 February.[1] However, he only found the net once in the remaining eleven games of the 1933–34 campaign.[1] He picked up a serious knee injury in August 1934, which sidelined him for four months.[1] He never regained his first-team spot and was instead released in May 1935, having scored twice in 12 games in 1934–35.[1] He spent the 1935–36 season at York Street with non-League Boston United. He spent the 1936–37 season with Ipswich Town; scoring 15 goals in 28 games across all competitions, he helped the "Tractor Boys" to win the Southern League title.[2] After leaving Portman Road, he later appeared for Bridlington Town.[2]
