season.

Club career

Price began his football career in army football with the Coldstream Guards and the 10th Royal Hussars. Initially an amateur, he joined Third Division South club Brentford from Isthmian League club Woking Town in 1928.[3] He scored on his only first-team appearance for the Bees, in a 3–1 victory over Norwich City on Good Friday 1928.[3] Price subsequently turned professional and played for Fulham between 1928 and 1937, with whom he won the 1931–32 Third Division South championship.[3]

After making 204 appearances and scoring 53 goals for Fulham,

The Old Recreation Ground cancelled by mutual consent, as he wished to travel south to work as a coach with Wimbledon.[1] He later became the coach of Yiewsley, before his appointment as assistant secretary of Fulham.[1]

International career

While with Woking, Price won three

Football Association XI for a tour of South Africa and Rhodesia the same year.[3][6]
