Dennis Westcott

Career Westcott started his career at local clubs Wallasey Grocers and Leasowe Road Brickworks, before failing trials with Football League clubs Everton and West Ham United. He then joined nearby New Brighton of the Third Division (North) in January 1936 and scored 10 goals in 18 league matches. Westcott scored one of the goals as Wolves won 6–2. He scored 22 goals during the 1937–38 season, making him the club's top scorer.

In 1939 competitive football was then suspended due to World War II, depriving Westcott of several years in his prime. When competitive football resumed in 1946, Westcott continued his goalscoring exploits, setting another club record with 38 goals in the 1946–47 season which made him top-scorer in the league. He then moved to Chesterfield and finished his career with Stafford Rangers.
