Angus made his full debut for Everton alongside established stars including Johnny Holt, Fred Geary and Edgar Chadwick in the opening game[3] of the 1890/91 season at Stoney Lane, as the Toffeemen overcame W.B.A.
In the coming weeks, Everton, with Angus between the sticks, stormed to the top of the Division 1 table, winning their next four games by an aggregate score of 19–1, before a 2–2 draw at Aston Villa slowed their progress.
Angus was replaced in goal by Bob Smalley[4] for a 2–1 reverse at Ewood Park versus Blackburn, but returned to keep a clean sheet in a 1–0 home win over Sunderland, a result which restored Everton's position at the top of the table.
Angus, who was spending the close season at home, was struck by typhoid fever, and gradually growing worse expired at ten o'clock on Saturday night.
The deceased began his career in King's Park F.C., but his great fame reaching England he was engaged by Sunderland Albion, with whom he remained for three seasons, when he signed for Everton, in whose team he was last year.
