[edit] Football career

[edit] Club career

Storer was born in West Derby, Liverpool. He came from a sporting family; his father Harry Storer, Sr. was a goalkeeper for Arsenal and Liverpool and played cricket for Derbyshire, and his uncle Bill Storer played football for Derby County and cricket for Derbyshire and England. After leaving Heanor Secondary School, Storer played for several clubs in the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire area, including playing as an amateur for Notts County.[1]

He had trials at Millwall, but signed his first professional contract with Grimsby Town of the Third Division (North) in February 1919, a few months before the Football League resumed after the First World War.[1] He played as a inside left or left half for Grimsby Town, Derby County, for whom he made more than 250 appearances, and Burnley.[2]

[edit] International career

He also won two caps for England. His debut was in 1924 in a friendly match against France in Paris; Storer, playing at inside left, scored the third goal in a 3–1 win.[3] His only other appearance for England came in the British Home Championship in 1927 against Ireland in Belfast; he played at left half in a 2–0 defeat, England playing the second half with nine men after goalkeeper Ted Hufton broke his arm and captain Jack Hill sustained a leg injury.[4]

[edit] Football management

Storer became manager of Coventry City in June 1931, guiding them to the Third Division (South) title in 1935–36. He left in June 1945 to manage Birmingham City, leading them to the Second Division title in 1947–48. Storer resigned as Birmingham manager in November 1948 to return for a second spell at Coventry which lasted until December 1953. He took over as manager of Derby County in June 1955, leading The Rams to the Third Division (North) title in 1956–57.[1]

[edit] Cricket career

As a cricketer, he represented Derbyshire from 1920 to 1936. A right-handed batsman, leg spin bowler and occasional wicket-keeper, he took part in more than 300 County Championship matches, including playing his part in Derbyshire's championship-winning side of 1936.[5]
