PAT McMAHON

Born: 26 October 1908, Glasgow, Scotland

Signed: October 1932, St Anthony's F.C. (Glasgow)

Debut: Birmingham City, 4 March 1933

Career: 1932-1934

Appearances: 17

Goals: 0

Transferred: St. Mirren (Scotland), 1934

Died: 28 January 1992, Wrexham, Wales (aged 83)

After leaving school in his native Scotland, the capable 'keeper had joined his local junior club Pollokshaws Hibernian and from there went to those famous star finders, St Anthony's F.C. from where he signed for West Ham United in October 1932. Previously the Saints had provided Hughie Mills to the Upton Park payroll and later Arthur Tonner also joined from the Scottish amateurs.

When regular goalkeeper George Watson was side-lined by injuries received in a car crash, McMahon made a sensational debut between the posts against Birmingham in the F.A. Cup Sixth Round at Upton Park on the 4 March 1933. The youngster stepped into the breach and kept a clean sheet as West Ham thrashed their First Division opponents 4-0 to reach the last four.

Although he lost his place against Everton at neutral Molineux in the semi-final, he went on to total 13 Second Division outings that season. McMahon eventually returned to Scotland to join St. Mirren and then moved to Wrexham during the end of the 1934/35 season.

VINCENT BLORE

Born: 25 February 1907, Uttoxeter, Staffordshire

Signed: Derby County, 27 June 1935

Debut: Norwich City, 31 August 1935

Career: 1935/36

Appearances: 9

Goals: 0

Transferred: Crystal Palace, 29 October 1936

Died: 16 January 1997, Surrey (aged 89)

Started his football career with Uttoxeter Amateurs, Vincent joined Aston Villa in 1932 from Burton Town. A safe and steady goalkeeper, he moved to Derby County after impressing in trails in August 1933 without having appeared in the first team at Villa Park.

Made a total 15 first team appearances in his two seasons for the Rams before West Ham manager Charlie Paynter signed the acrobatic goalkeeper on 27 June 1935. Known as "Vic" by his Hammers’ teammates, he made his West Ham debut between the sticks in the season opener, a 3-4 defeat at the hands of Norwich City at Carrow Road on the 31 August 1935. Blore contested the First Team spot along with Herman Conway in that same season.

With the arrival of another net-minder, Jack Weare from Wolverhampton Wanderers, effectively relegating him to third choice 'keeper. Blore signed for Third Division (South) side Crystal Palace on 29 October 1936, the south London club spending three weeks persuading him to join them south of the river with an opportunity to play regular First Team football.

After 33 League and two FA Cup appearances for the Eagles, he made a final move to Exeter City of the same Division in October 1938. He played just four games for the Grecians in the last season before the outbreak of war, which brought his career to a close.
