Career

Herbert Powell was born in Netherfield, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire. He was on the books of Nottingham Forest, though never played for the league side, and played for Gresley Rovers and Grantham Avenue before making his first appearance in the Football League, for Chesterfield Town in the Second Division in the 1906–07 season. A few months later he appeared for Barnsley, also in the Second Division, then spent time at Carlisle United, New Brompton and Coventry City, surfacing for a third time in the Second Division with Birmingham in 1910. He scored on his Birmingham debut, but soon left for a tour of senior non-league football either side of the First World War, finishing off his career with Sutton Town in 1923.
