Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

Southall was born in Quarry Bank, which was then in Staffordshire. He began his football career in local football, and gained a reputation as both a goalscorer and a creator of chances while with Stourbridge. He joined Birmingham in December 1905,[1] and made his debut in the First Division on 7 April 1906 in a goalless draw at Derby County.[3] Though given a decent run of games, he was unable to perform at his best, so he returned to non-league football where he was again successful.[1]
