Career
Powell was born in Maidstone, Kent. He was on the books of Nottingham Forest, though never played for the league side,[1] and played for Gresley Rovers[2] and Grantham Avenue before making his first appearance in the Football League, for Chesterfield Town in the Second Division in the 1906–07 season. A few months later he appeared for Barnsley, also in the Second Division, then spent time at Carlisle United, New Brompton and Coventry City, surfacing for a third time in the Second Division with Birmingham in 1910.[1] He scored on his Birmingham debut,[3] but soon left for a tour of senior non-league football either side of the First World War, finishing off his career with Sutton Town in 1923.[1]
