Bernard Harry "Bryn " Elliott (3 May 1925 – 15 February 2019) was an English retired footballer who played as a half-back in the 1940s and 1950s. He started his career at Nottingham Forest , before joining Southampton in 1949, where he was to remain for the next ten years.[1]
[ edit ]
Elliott was born in Beeston , near Nottingham and was educated at Beeston Fields School. He was a member of the Beeston Lads Club during World War II who played and defeated local Football League clubs, Notts County and Nottingham Forest .[2]
Elliott was signed by Forest in October 1942 and remained with them until August 1949, making ten appearances in the Football League Second Division .[3] He then dropped down to non-League football , joining Boston United of the Midland League [4] from where, in October 1949, he was signed by Southampton 's recently-appointed manager, Sid Cann , together with his team-mate Tom Lowder .[5]
He made his debut for the reserve team on 5 October 1949[6] before making his first-team debut on 25 February 1950 in front of a crowd of over 70,000 at White Hart Lane .[7] Elliott played at left-half in a 4–0 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur ; despite the result, he retained his place in the team for the next match, before returning to the reserves. At the end of the season , the "Saints" finished fourth in the Second Division , missing promotion on goal average , with Tottenham Hotspur being promoted as champions.[8]
Described as "the owner of a neat, precise style" with "enthusiasm, combined with forceful and tenacious tackling",[7] he soon became an established member of the Southampton side, making 23 league appearances in 1950–51 [9] and 27 in the following season , in both of which Southampton finished mid-table.[10] In 1952–53 , Elliott only missed one match in a defence that conceded 85 goals, with the team being relegated to the Third Division South for the first time in over 30 years.[11]
He was in-and-out of the side over the next few years, making 31 appearances in 1953–54 ,[12] 19 in 1954–55 ,[13] 36 in 1955–56 [14] and 34 in 1956–57 .[15] In 1957–58 , he had two long runs in the side until he was dropped after a 5–2 defeat at Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic in February 1958.[16]
Elliott spent the 1958–59 season in the reserves,[17] before he was released in the 1959 close season . In his ten years at The Dell , Elliott made a total of 251 first-team appearances, scoring twice.[7]
Later career
[ edit ]
Following his release, he played part-time for Poole Town of the Southern League [7] (managed by former Southampton player Mike Keeping ), along with Southampton teammates Pat Parker , Sam Stevens and Barry Hillier .
He ran an off-licence business in Waterloo Road in Freemantle until the 1990s and continued to play golf at Stoneham into his 90s.[7] [18]
