Career
Adams spent his youth with Wolverhampton Wanderers, before he returned to his hometown of Stoke-on-Trent to sign for Freddie Steele's Port Vale in May 1956.[1][3] There he was converted from a wing-half position to play at full-back.[3] His only appearance for the club came in a Third Division South clash at Brentford's Griffin Park on 26 April 1958, Vale losing 4–1.[1] He was released from Vale Park by manager Norman Low in May 1960 and later joined Crewe Alexandra.[1] He did not feature in a senior game for the "Railwaymen", and in February 1961 joined Macclesfield Town in the Cheshire County League.[3] He actually made his first-team debut for the "Silkmen" against Crewe Alexandra Reserves in a Cheshire Senior Cup match on 4 February.[3] He made 46 league and 12 cup appearances, before a re-occurrence of an old knee injury forced his retirement in October 1963. During his time at Macclesfield, he was employed as a draughtsman at ROF Radway Green at Radway Green.[3]
