Career
A wing half, Nelson began his career with hometown junior club Douglas Water Thistle, before moving to Scottish League Second Division club St Bernard's in January 1936.[1] He scored seven goals in 12 appearances during the second half of the 1935–36 season and moved to England to sign for First Division club Arsenal for a £200 fee in May 1936.[1][2] Nelson made just 9 appearances before the Second World War broke out in September 1939,[3] but he had experienced some joy in the reserve team, winning the London Combination in 1936–37, 1937–38 and 1938–39.[2] Nelson made 164 appearances for the Gunners during the war and also played as a guest for Motherwell, Celtic, Clapton Orient, Tottenham Hotspur, Brentford and Chesterfield during the Second World War.[4] He made further competitive Arsenal appearances during the 1945–46 and 1946–47 seasons,[3] before leaving Highbury in December 1946.[2] Nelson made 29 competitive appearances and scored four goals in over a decade with Arsenal.[2]
Nelson joined Second Division club Fulham in December 1946, as a makeweight in the deal that took Ronnie Rooke to Arsenal.[5] He made 24 appearances and scored four goals before he and teammate Peter Buchanan transferred to newly relegated Second Division club Brentford for a £6,000 deal in August 1947.[4][5][6] Nelson was a regular at wing half and made 113 appearances, scoring five goals,[4] before transferring to Second Division club Queens Park Rangers in February 1950, in exchange for Bill Pointon.[4] He remained at Loftus Road for just over two years and departed having made 31 appearances.[7]
Nelson dropped down to the Third Division South to join Crystal Palace in March 1952, but he made just 12 appearances before his departure the following year.[7][8] Nelson ended his career as player-manager at Kent League club Ashford Town between March 1953 and May 1955.[4][9][10]
Personal life
Nelson served as a sergeant in the British Army during the Second World War.[2] He emigrated to the United States in the late 1950s and worked at a car plant in St. Louis.[5] At the time of his death, he was living in Greenwich, Connecticut.[5]
