Wallace Birch

Wallace Birch Date of Birth: Mar 6, 1910

Sheffield born in 1910, Wallace was spotted playing for Grenoside Sports by one of Luton manager John McCartney’s Yorkshire scouts and after an initial spell in the reserves he got his chance in the 1929-30 season.

An energetic inside-forward, he was beset by a string of injuries and when fully fit could not force his way back into the side. A surprise move to Sheffield Wednesday followed but he failed to make the grade there and finished up turning out for Kidderminster Harriers.

Wallace passed away in Kidderminster in 1987.
