Christopher James Adams
Winger (1954-1956)
A two-and-a-half-year stay at Vicarage Road ended when Chris Adams refused the part-time terms he was offered for the 1956/57 season. On appeal to the Football League in October 1956 he was granted a free transfer, and it was with Dartford of the Southern League that he saw out his career with eight years’ service. This shortish, stocky outside-left had endured a long wait for his Football League début after turning professional with Tottenham Hotspur at the age of 21. Spurs were the reigning League champions when he eventually got his first-team chance, and he marked the occasion with his only top-flight goal in a 5-0 defeat of Derby County.
