Club Career |
,%20Jackie.jpg) |
Instead of going down the pit, the young
Milburn took a job in Dorking as a pantry boy, following homesickness, he
returned home and he started his football career assisting Hirst East Old
Boys FC and later Ashington YMCA. War in 1939 saw Milburn try to join the
Navy but, lacking height, he was rejected. Twelve months later he had shot
up to 5'10" and had become an apprentice fitter at the local colliery. He
appeared for theAshington Air Training Corps and for the county side and
was soon at St James Park making an impression in a trial match. He signed
on a week later in August 1943. He still worked the pits, at Hazelrigg
Colliery, until an ear infection ended his mining days in 1948. After
playing in a friendly match for United against Linfield FAC at Windsor Park
on 10 October 1956, the Linfield board jumped on
Milburn's interest, and eventually shelled out the £10,000 transfer fee
plus a Linfield player on 13 June 1957, making him their player-manager.
Wor Jackie scored 177 goals in 353 League appearances. He
remained for three seasons, scoring 68 goals in 55 Irish League
appearances.
