Keep - The article concentrates on his non-league managerial career. However this obituary
[1] states that he played for Birmingham City early in his career, which if true could change things. Problem is, we're talking about the late 1940s here so online references are non-existent other than obituaries.

(ec with comment below) He doesn't appear on
List of Birmingham City F.C. players or either of its sublists. He isn't listed on
Neil Brown's site or on
Barry Hugman's website which lists all post-WW2 EFL/PL players. All this would point to his never having played first team football for the Blues. @

According to Tony Matthews' Complete Record books, no Harold Cox played first-team football for Birmingham.
This page shows all Jimmy Scoular's Newcastle appearances. He played 9 times against Birmingham, all of which were League matches, and I checked the lineups for those matches individually in the Matthews books to see if he had appeared but had for some reason been omitted from the overall lists; he hadn't. I can only assume that, assuming he was remembering the encounter correctly, it must have been a reserve game. cheers,

Neiltonks: If he had played for Birmingham's first team, he would be listed
here or on
this website – however, he isn't, so the match mentioned in the obituary was probably be a reserve team game (and it wasn't a cup game as Birmingham didn't play Newcastle in a cup until
1973–74).
