John Swinton Pryde Henderson (or "Jock" as he was known) started
his career in Scotland, coming close to getting a medal with
Falkirk as they lost the 1948 League Cup Final. He arrived at Leeds
via Third Lanark and Rotherham, and his experience helped stabilise
a Leeds side in Division 2. He also played a handful of games at
the start of the season that saw Leeds promoted back to Division 1.
He played for several non-league sides in the South after leaving
Leeds and had a brief spell as a non-league coach with Calne
Town.
Mrs V.R. Henderson says: Mr J.S.P. Henderson at the age of 78 is
still fit and working for Claremont Automatics Ltd., MELKSHAM. He
is still an avid football fan but feels it is now money orientated
and for him it was a special privilege to be paid for something he
loved, which was a pittance.
Mrs Lee Turtell (nee henderson) says: He's my grandpop.He's
still living in Wiltshire and working for claremont. He now has a
great grandchild, who has inherited a liking for the game and a
competetive streak!
