Born in Malton on November 29, 1934, and educated at Malton School, he was spotted playing for the British Army during National Service before joining Tottenham from non-league Scarborough after his demobilisation in 1955. He made his first appearance for the club against Sheffield United in March that year and remained with Spurs until 1965, becoming a regular in the double-winning side of 1960–61 and scoring in the FA Cup final against Leicester.
