Lager was signed as a 16 year old in August 1934 and learned his trade quickly.

His goalscoring record was excellent, but it wasn't until 1938-39 that he made a regular place for himself. He played twice for England Juniors whilst at City. The war came at an unfortunate time for Lager as he was at his prime. He guested for Watford and both Nottingham clubs during the War and retired in 1943.
