Born in Frimley Green, Surrey, Page played the majority of his professional career with Football League club Southampton, before later moving to Hastings United for his final season.
[1] At the age of 18, Page made his debut against Sheffield United on 8 November 1952, playing at outside-left alongside Ted Bates, although he quickly converted to a centre-half.
[1] In the 1959–60 season, Page played at centre-half in all but one game in the Third Division, establishing himself as the side's first-choice penalty taker ahead of free-kick specialist Terry Paine and top scorer George O'Brien; he converted a total of 21 penalties in his career, a club record until it was topped by Mick Channon, David Peach, Matthew Le Tissier, and Rickie Lambert.
[1] As the Saints gained promotion to the Second Division, Page kept his place in the starting lineup and played the first 40 games of the campaign, before the arrival and establishment of Tony Knapp prompted him to leave the club.
[1] After retiring from playing and holding a "variety of jobs" in his local area, Page was brought in as the manager for Camberley Town in June 1967.
