Coventry Kid Jack’s first team appearances were limited because the club had two outstanding centre-forwards in George Lowrie and Ted Roberts. However he had a memorable debut when he netted the only goal in a 1-0 win over Fulham. Jack had joined the club in 1946 after writing in for a trial and making a big impression. After his moment of fame he went back to reserve team football and only played again when first teamers were injured. After leaving the club in 1952 he played for Nuneaton Borough, Bedworth, Rugby Town, Banbury and Lockheed. For many years Jack worked for Rolls Royce at Anstey and lived in Coundon.
