Career

[edit]

Tippett played for Twizzell United, Middlesbrough, Craghead United (in three spells), Newcastle United and, after having trials with Stoke City and Grimsby Town, joined Doncaster Rovers and then Rochdale. He joined Port Vale in June 1931.[1] He scored eight goals in 31 Second Division games in the 1931–32 season but was criticized for his lack of goals.[1] He fell ill in August 1932 and failed to regain his first-team spot, scoring three goals in only nine league and cup games in the 1932–33 season.[1] He left The Old Recreation Ground and transferred to West Ham United in May 1933.[1][2]
