John Daglish

Life and career Daglish was born in 1907 in Annfield Plain, County Durham, the son of Charles Daglish, a stoneman in a coal mine, and his wife Margaret. At the time of the 1911 Census, he was their only child. He played football for South Moor and for North-Eastern League clubs West Stanley, Annfield Plain and White-le-Head Rangers Dalglish returned to Darlington's first team in November for a run of seven matches playing at centre half. However, a missed penalty by Dickson and what the Athletic News reported as "serious defensive lapses" contributed to a 3–2 defeat. Daglish made no more first-team appearances during 1930–31, and although he remained on their books for a further two seasons, played only rarely as cover, twice in 1931–32 and seven times in 1932–33, when he was sometimes used at full back.

He returned to the North-Eastern League and Annfield Plain for the 1933–34 season, and resumed his Football League career with another Third Division club, Gateshead, in June 1934. He played twice at left half early in the seasonone of three tried in that position in the first four matches had a run of eight games in the league team between December and February, and took his appearance total to 14 by the end of the season,

Daglish spent the 1935–36 season with West Stanley, and then signed for another North-Eastern League club, Ashington, in May 1937. He continued as a regular in the team until competitive football was suspended at the start of the Second World War and for a further two years in the wartime competitions, until the Ashington club closed down in August 1941. In his final season, he captained the team, missed only one match of the 33 played, and scored his first goal in three years. The Blyth News of 1940 highlighted his character as well as his skills: He was still resident at that address at the time of his death, which took place at Stanley County Mixed School in 1962.
