Denis Cheney

The odd man out when five players were signed from Leicester City in that he came only on loan, but nevertheless Denis Cheney was ever-present on the left wing until he returned to Filbert Street at the end of the season. He was soon back in Division 3 (South), however, where he made over two hundred Football League appearances with his two Hampshire clubs, who used him in the more central attacking positions, from which he racked up a useful tally of goals. Dorchester Town subsequently benefited from his scoring prowess to the tune of 61 goals in a season. He made his Leicester City first-team début in a wartime fixture at the age of 16, before experiencing active service in Singapore.
