Harold Booton
English footballer (1906–1976)
Harold Booton (2 March 1906 – 22 October 1976) was an English professional footballer who made 156 appearances as a right back in the Football League.[1][3]
Booton was born in Annesley, Nottinghamshire. He began his football career with Annesley Colliery and Shirebrook, and joined Birmingham in 1929. He became a first-team regular for Birmingham after George Liddell retired, and made 162 appearances in all competitions, including 149 in the First Division. He was a solid tackler and kicked powerfully, but his distribution of the ball was wayward.[3] He later played 7 league games for Luton Town, and then moved into non-league football with Atherstone Town.[1] He died in Denham, Buckinghamshire, in 1976 at the age of 70.[3]
