Laurie Crown was a gentleman, who was considered not to have enough grit to be an effective full-back. For this reason he was released by Newcastle, who made a considerable loss on the deal, having bought him from South Shields for £2750, only to sell him for £750 just over 12 months later. He was a regular at City and became one of the few 6 foot tall full-backs to play for the club. He was made club captain and performed admirably until his retirement in 1931.
