[1] He played football for nearby Chirk, Wrexham and Neston[2] before joining First Division club Everton in November 1905 at a wage of £2 a week and a signing-on bonus of £5.
[5] He made his debut on 20 December, in a goalless draw away to Middlesbrough, and played his second and what turned out to be final first-team game for the club a few weeks later, in a 4–2 defeat at Newcastle United.
[6] After some consideration, Everton chose not to re-engage Grundy for the coming season, and placed him on the transfer list at a fee of £25.
The Daily Express wrote that much was expected of the player, who had "shown himself to be very speedy; he accurately centres when going at top speed, and his foot-work generally is admirable".
[4] Everton retained Grundy's Football League registration until April 1908, when he was allowed to leave on a free transfer.
