David Frederick McAdam (3 April 1923 – 18 April 2017) was an English footballer who made appearances in the English Football League for Leeds United and Wrexham.
Career[]
McAdam played for non-league Stapenhill Working Men's Club after being on the books of Aston Villa as an amateur.[1]
He would be recruited by Leeds United manager Frank Buckley in 1948 as he strove to rebuild the team post-war.[3]
McAdam would start strongly, playing 20 consecutive games for Leeds United before suffering a cartilage injury in a match against Blackburn Rovers on 29 January 1949 which ruled him out of the rest of the 1948–49 season.[1]
However post-injury, he lost his first team place and moved to Wrexham in 1950, where he spent a season and made 10 appearances.[1]
After Wrexham he would spend a total of 14 years in non-league football, spending a decade at Burton Albion and 4 years at Matlock Town.[3]
Death[]
McAdam died on 18 April 2017 at the age of 94 after years spent in a nursing home.[1]
