Albert Day

Centre-forward (1949)

Player

His only Football League goal for Watford, in a single run of four appearances at centre-forward, was scored at Portman Road, whence he had only just been transferred – and his goal was the only one the club managed in those four games. As a pre-war amateur he had represented Sussex and scored a hat-trick for Hastings & St Leonards in the 1937/38 Sussex Senior Cup Final. He had a season on Brighton & Hove Albion’s books as a professional before the Second World War, in which he served in the army as a Physical Training Instructor, but didn’t make his peacetime Football League début until he was 27.
