Harold Connor

Born in Liverpool, Connor began playing football with Peterborough United as he was serving with RAF Halton. He returned to his native Merseyside and became a PE teacher in Crosby and played football with non-league Marine. He joined the professional side Stoke City in 1952 signing on amateur contract forms and scored within 10 minutes on his debut against Sunderland in March 1953. After he declined to sign a professional contract he was released by manager Frank Taylor and Connor returned to Marine whilst continuing to work as a teacher.
