Description

Liverpool born inside left Albert Malam began his football career in local Liverpool football and had a trial with Everton in 1930 before joining Colwyn Bay United, from where he signed for Second Division club Chesterfield in November 1932, making a scoring Football League debut against Grimsby Town the next month. He scored 4 goals at Charlton Athletic the following May but it was not enough to save Chesterfield from relegation. His 15 goals the next season brought him to the attention of First Division club Huddersfield Town, who signed him in September 1934 after 26 goals in 61 matches for The Spireites.

A regular during the period after signing for The Terriers, he lost his place the following February, probably through injury, after 11 goals in 23 matches, and didn’t feature for Huddersfield Town in 1935-36 before he transferred to Second Division club Doncaster Rovers in September 1936, but again he suffered relegation with Rovers at the season end, remaining a regular for two more seasons at Belle Vue when Doncaster narrowly missed out on promotion both seasons, finishing runners up in the division. His career was then severely interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939, by when he had scored 28 goals in 109 matches for Rovers.

During the War he played as a guest for Manchester City, Crewe and New Brighton, and after the War he signed for Wrexham in February 1946 and scored once in 7 matches for The Dragons through to Christmas Day, before joining Cheshire League club Runcorn in 1947, where he became player-manager.

He was the father of Colin Malam, former football correspondent of The Sunday Telegraph and author.
