[edit] Playing

Spencer joined Newcastle United from non-league football in October 1921.[1] He played for the club until 1928, making a total of 175 appearances and scored 1 goal.[2]

In January 1928, Spencer signed for Manchester United. However, he was only at United for 18 months, leaving the club for Tunbridge Wells Rangers in 1929. He then moved to Wigan Athletic, where he eventually became club manager.

Spencer played twice for England. His first game was in a game against Scotland on 12 April 1924 and his second, and last, cap came against Wales on 28 February 1925.[3]

[edit] Managerial

Spencer became Wigan Athletic's first ever manager in August 1932.[4][5] During his first four seasons at the club, he won the Cheshire County League Championship three times. He left Wigan in March 1937 to become manager of Grimsby Town.[4] He was appointed as manager of York City in November 1952.[6] However, he died less than three months into his reign at the club on 9 February 1953 at his home in Blackpool.[6][4]
