Career

Spencer joined Port Vale as an amateur in October 1922. [1] After making his debut on New Year's Day 1923, in a 3–1 defeat at South Shields, he signed professional forms the next month. [1] He played just another two Second Division games in the 1922–23 season, before he was transferred to Wolverhampton Wanderers in June 1923. [1] He returned to Vale five months later. [1] His second spell at the Old Recreation Ground was just as uneventful, and he was released after playing just one game in the 1923–24 season. He moved on to Willenhall. [1]
