Ted Vizard

Born in Charlotte Street in Cogan, Wales, to parents from originally from Wiltshire in England, Vizard joined Bolton Wanderers in September 1910 from Barry, making his debut later that year. From here, he never looked back making the outside left position his own for the next 18 seasons. In total, he made 512 appearances for the Trotters scoring 70 goals. During his time at Bolton, he appeared in the 1923 and 1926 FA Cup Finals, winning both. He remained in the team until retiring in 1931 aged 41, becoming the oldest player to play for the club (a record only broken in 1995 by Peter Shilton). Vizard also won 22 international caps for Wales, scoring one goal, the winner in a 2-1 win against England in 1924 when he pounced on a rebound after England goalkeeper Ronnie Sewell saved a Jack Nicholls shot. Vizard also captained his country - against England in 1914 at Ninian Park and against Scotland in 1921 at Pittodrie.

Swindon Town

In April 1933 Vizard gave up his position as coach of the 'A' team with Bolton Wanderers in order to become the manager of Swindon Town, a position he held until 1939.

QPR

After the 1938–39 season, Vizard left the club to take the reins at Queens Park Rangers, succeeding Billy Birrell. Due to the outbreak of World War II causing the suspension of league football, he never had the chance to manage them in a competitive game. Despite this they were relatively successful in wartime football and in 1944 he replaced Major Frank Buckley as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Wolves

He was appointed Wolves manager in April 1944, and despite taking them to third place in the First Division in the first peacetime season in 1946/47, he was replaced by Stan Cullis in the summer of 1948.

Whilst on leave from the Army, Ted married Annie Clara Singleton, better known as Clarice, on New Year's Day 1918. Afterwards, Ted played for Bolton against Bury FC and was appointed captain for the day in honour of his marriage. Clarice worked as a telephonist in an exchange and had a keen interest in football herself before he met Ted and she later coached a Bolton ladies team which was sometimes called Mrs Vizard‘s XI. Clarice was in charge when Dick Kerr's Ladies were beaten for the first time in 1918.
