Career

Herbert Powell was born in Netherfield, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire. He was on the books of Nottingham Forest, though never played for the league side,[2] and played for Gresley Rovers and Grantham Avenue before making his first appearance in the Football League, for Chesterfield Town in the Second Division in the 1906–07 season.[6] A few months later he appeared for Barnsley, also in the Second Division, then spent time at Carlisle United, New Brompton and Coventry City,[7][8] surfacing for a third time in the Second Division with Birmingham in 1910.[2] He scored on his Birmingham debut,[9] but soon left for a tour of senior non-league football either side of the First World War,[10] finishing off his career with Sutton Town in 1923.[2]
