David Leslie Moir (2 May 1897 – q4 1969) was an English footballer who played as a centre half in the Football League for Darlington. He was on the books of Tottenham Hotspur without playing League football for them, and also played for London University. [1]
Moir was born in Heaton, Newcastle, the second child of David Moir, a police constable, and his wife Elizabeth. [4] [5] He began his senior football career with Tottenham Hotspur, but never played for the first team. He played for London University's football team, [1] and had a month's trial in early 1923 with Northampton Town, who were looking for a stand-in to allow player-manager Bob Hewison to concentrate on his managerial duties. [6] His only appearance in the Football League was for Darlington on 1 September 1923, deputising for Billy Robinson in the Third Division North match against Accrington Stanley; Darlington lost 2–0. [7]
The 1939 Register finds Moir living with his wife, Margaret, and two children in Bodenham Road, Birmingham, working as a commercial traveller (branch manager), and serving as a special constable. [8] He died in 1969 in the North Walsham area of Norfolk. [2]
