Life and career

Crosby Gray Henderson was born on 12 May 1885 in South Hylton, which was then in County Durham.[1] He was a younger child of Thomas Henderson, a blacksmith by trade, and his wife Frances. He was apprenticed as a ship plater,[2] and played local football for Hylton Rangers and Hylton Star[1] before joining Football League First Division club Newcastle United in May 1906. He continued working in the shipyards while with Newcastle, never played for their first team,Шаблон:Sfnp and moved on to Grimsby Town of the Second Division in May 1908.[3]

Henderson played 65 league games for Grimsby over two seasons,Шаблон:Sfnp earning himself a reputation as a solid defender, but left the club when they failed to be re-elected to the Football League. He joined Birmingham, who had finished below Grimsby but whose application for re-election had been successful.Шаблон:Sfnp[4] He went straight into the starting eleven, but lost his place after six games, and the form, consistency and fitness of the young Frank Womack meant he never regained it.Шаблон:Sfnp

At the end of the 1910–11 season, he left for Brighton & Hove Albion of the Southern League. Both Grimsby and Birmingham had used him at left back, but he was capable of playing on either side,[3] and it was as a right back that he made his 12 appearances for Brighton. He was released at the end of the season,Шаблон:Sfnp and joined Luton Town, whose local newspaper described him as "a big, strong and very steady fellow, and a good kick."[5] He began the season in the first team, but fell out of favour, and in August 1913 he was reported to be advertising for an engagement.[6][7]

Henderson married Ellen Appleton in 1909.[8] He died in Sunderland on 27 April 1970 at the age of 84.Шаблон:Sfnp
