He scored 111 goals in 248 league games for the "Clarets" before he was sold to Manchester United for a £1,000 fee in March 1932.
Seven months later, he moved on to Port Vale before ending his playing career in the Football League in the summer of 1933.
Louis Antonio Page was born on 27 March 1899 in Bootle cum Linacre, Liverpool, Lancashire.
[2] He was the youngest of ten children to Robert William and Jane (née Galvin); his father was born in Calcutta and worked as a crane driver at the Liverpool docks.
He entered professional football with Stoke during the 1919–20 season, scoring his first senior goal on 13 December, in a 2–1 defeat to Birmingham at St Andrew's.
Page joined Walter Crickmer's Second Division side Manchester United for a £1,000 fee in March 1932.
[1] He was not kept on at The Old Recreation Ground beyond the campaign, and so Page left the Football League to forge a career in management.
He played four British Home Championship games and three friendlies, and scored against Belgium on 1 May 1927;[5] his goal came in the 63rd minute, in what was a 9–1 victory.
He was sacked on 9 September 1937, a few games into the 1937–38 season;[2] his successor, Billy McCandless, led the club to a 16th-place finish in the Third Division South.
When league football resumed after the Second World War, he was appointed manager of Swindon Town.
[7] Page was forced to build a completely fresh team, and so Swindon's fourth-place finish in the Third Division South in 1946–47 was seen as a highly respectable achievement.
Page always had to deal with a shoestring budget at the County Ground, and was forced to sell many of his top players.
