About Bert Fenwick
Lived 1900 – 1961. Bert Fenwick was a British association football player.
Herbert Fenwick (1900 – 1961) was an English professional footballer who played as a half back for Southampton in their final season in the Southern League in 1919–20.
Football career
Fenwick was born in Wallsend and trained as a boilermaker. During World War I, he moved to the south coast to work in the Southampton shipyard of Harland & Wolff, where he played in their works team which won the South Hants War League in 1919.
In May 1919, he joined Southampton as a professional footballer and made his Southern League in the first match of the 1919–20 season, a 1–1 draw with Exeter City. Fenwick retained his place at right half for the first six matches, after which he was in and out of the side, with Percy Prince usually taking his place, until November when fellow former Harland and Wolff employee, Arthur Andrews took over at right half.
Unable to regain his place in the side, even after Andrews broke a leg in January, Fenwick left the area and returned to his native north-east.
