Playing Career
Todd played for Wellesley, Leith Athletic and Cowdenbeath, before joining English side Port Vale in October 1932. He featured nine times for the "Valiants" in 1932–33, but remained at The Old Recreation Ground whilst rivals Jock Leckie and Ben Davies both departed. He played 29 times in 1933–34, beating off competition from Ormond Jones. However he played just once in 1935–36, as the club suffered relegation with John Potts between the sticks. Todd played 39 times in the Third Division North in 1936–37, but refused a new contract with Vale and was given a free transfer to Nottingham Forest in exchange for Arthur Masters. After leaving the City Ground, Todd later played for Darlington.

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or career:
“Lovely,
this plowman’s son
with the good-looking wife
has gone so thin over you
that the woman,
though jealous,
is playing the go-between herself!”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
