Harry Haddock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harry Haddock (born 26 July 1925, in Glasgow; died 19 December 1998) was a Scottish footballer who spent his entire career with Clyde. He was also selected in the Scotland squad for the 1958 FIFA World Cup.
A left back, Haddock joined Clyde in September 1949 and became a reliable fixture in the side over the following 13 seasons, latterly as captain. He enjoyed his fair share of ups and downs during this period: the Bully Wee were relegated in 1950-51, 1955-56 and 1960-61 although they enjoyed an instant return as Second Division champions on each occasion. Haddock also helped his side reach two Scottish Cup Finals, both of which were won. In 1954-55, Celtic were defeated 1-0 in a replay, while in 1957-58 Hibernian were defeated 1-0 at the first attempt.
Haddock's international career was somewhat less auspicious, as Scotland won only 1 of the 6 games he featured in. This included two heavy defeats by England, 7-2 in 1955 and 4-0 in 1958. The latter match would prove to be his final international appearance, as despite his selection in the 1958 World Cup squad, he did not feature in the finals in Sweden.
