Life and career
Maddison was born in Washington, County Durham,[1] and began his football career as a youngster with Hylton Colliery Welfare during the Second World War. In April 1942, he played at Roker Park in a match against Sunderland Air Training Corps (ATC) in aid of the Sunderland EchoШаблон:'s Comfort for the Forces Fund; according to that newspaper, "both these junior teams can put eleven clever footballers into the field".[2] and later that year kept goal in the Hetton Junior League 1941–42 championship decider against Ryhope Juniors.[3] He signed for Sunderland for the 1943–44 season,[4] and by December 1945, he was playing adult football for Horden Colliery Welfare,[5] He signed amateur forms with Football League Second Division club Bradford Park Avenue in June 1946, but never played league football for them.[1]
He joined Blackpool of the First Division in February 1948, and played regularly for the reserve team in the Central League, but again played no part for the first team.[1][6] A year later he was back in the north-east with Blackhall Colliery Welfare,[7] moving on to Brandon Colliery Welfare[8] before returning to Horden Colliery Welfare for the 1949–50 season.[9] After injury to first-choice goalkeeper Jack Washington, Maddison played in the FA Cup tie against Billingham Synthonia, the winner to visit League club Stockport County in the first round proper.[10] Horden lost.
Maddison returned to the Football League in 1950 with Darlington of the Third Division North.[1] He finally made his league debut on 26 March 1951, deputising for the long-serving Billy Dunn in the local derby at home to Hartlepools United, played in a snowstorm on a quagmire of a Feethams pitch dotted with pools of standing water. Darlington lost 1–0, and it was Maddison's only first-team appearance.[11][12] At the end of the 1950–51 season, he signed for Berwick Rangers, an English club playing in the Scottish C Division. He made 23 league appearances and another 10 in the various cup competitions in two seasons with the club.[13] While a Berwick player, he was reported to be working "on the administrative staff of a well-known steel manufacturing firm".[6]
Maddison later emigrated to the United States, where he opened a travel agency in Allendale, New Jersey, in 1968.[14] He was married to Suzanne née Mooney, and lived in Ho-Ho-Kus until his death there in 2017 at the age of 90.[15]
