Alf Widdowson
Alf Widdowson was a highly experienced, strong, and determined inside forward, who was noted for scoring important goals in his time at Notts County.
He had made about 150 appearances for The Magpies in Divisions 1 and 2, before being bought, along with Norman Dinsdale, by City director Mr. Saunders. The combined fee was £500, but the club's bank refused to sanction the payment. The situation was saved by former chairman David Cooke and County were paid. His time at City was disrupted by injury, which restricted him to only 73 appearances. Towards the end of his playing days, he became a fringe player and was released by Harry Storer in the summer of 1932 after 18 months spent mainly in the reserves. He returned to his native Nottinghamshire.
