Charlie Scrimshaw

[1] Scrimshaw was born in Derby and began his career playing amateur football with Hebden Bridge before joining Stoke City in 1929 as a 20-year-old.

[1] It took Scrimshaw six years before he forced his way into the starting eleven mainly due to long-serving full-back Bob McGrory becoming Stoke's manager.

[1] Scrimshaw was seen as his replacement and he played in all the club's 47 fixtures in the 1935–36 season and only missed one match in 1936–37.

However, Scrimshaw could not maintain his place in the side, and he decided to leave for regular football.

He joined Middlesbrough in October 1938 but only managed nine appearances due to injury.
