Popular goal-scoring inside forward who gave Leeds five good
years of service in the mid-1920s. He started his career with West
London Old Boys, moving on to Ton Pentre before joining the senior
ranks at Clapton Orient. Scored a hat-trick on his home debut for
Leeds, and was to score another one on Christmas Day 1924. He
returned to Clapton Orient on leaving Leeds, but at the age of 30
he was heading towards retirement although he did keep playing
League football for a further 4 years after leaving Leeds and
playing on with Bath City at the age of 35 after leaving
Swindon.
Roger Whipp says: i! Just surfed into your site after doing a
search on my surname Whipp. My dad always told me that my Great
Uncle Percy was a good footballer who had played for the Orient and
other clubs. Although my dad is no longer alive I shall make some
enquires & search for any photos. I believe he also played a
few games for Arsenal.
