Laurence Edward Adams

One of ten amateurs to play League football for Watford between the Second World War and the abolition of the amateur/professional distinction, Laurie Adams made his one appearance at inside-left when still in the army. He turned professional on being demobbed three months later, but was only a reserve thereafter. He subsequently obtained the FA’s permission to play again as an amateur, which he did in the Exeter area.
