At the time of his death, in March 2021 at the age of 92, he was England's oldest living international footballer.
He shared a flat with Hill in London after being demobilised and went on to meet Malcolm Allison, who he remained friends with.
This meeting led to him signing as a professional for Charlton Athletic Football Club in 1949, having been also offered a trial at Cardiff City.
[5][8] He scored almost 4,000 runs for the side, keeping wicket as a replacement for England international wicket-keeper Godfrey Evans.
Charlton played most of the match with 10 men after Ufton broke his collar bone, and Huddersfield were leading 5–1 with just 27 minutes remaining.
[5][11] At that point, Johnny Summers began a passage of play in which he scored five goals and assisted with two others to allow Charlton to win 7–6.
[4] After his playing career he worked as a sporting activities director at the Sportsman Casino in London[5] and was the national chairman of the Lord's Taverners cricket charity.
