[ 3 ] Life and career Maidment was born in Monkwearmouth , County Durham ( now part of Sunderland ) . [ ¹ ] He played football for the Durham County Schools XI [ 4 ] before beginning his professional career with Sunderland A.F.C. , but never made the breakthrough to the club's first team . In January 1926 he signed for Lincoln City , then playing in the Football League Third Division North . Although he went on to score 47 goals from 130 appearances in senior competition for the club , [ ¹ ] a 1932 book suggested he failed to take full advantage of his strengths and abilities . [ 5 ] He moved on to First Division club Portsmouth in 1931 , [ ¹ ] but played only three times in the top flight before dropping into non - league football with Workington . [ 3 ] Portsmouth retained his Football League registration , and Cardiff City had to pay " a big transfer fee " to bring him back to the Third Division in January 1933. [ 2 ] He spent 18 months with Cardiff before returning to non - league football in his native north east of England with Blyth Spartans and then South Shields .
