Biography

Boyes was born in Killamarsh, Derbyshire.[2] After playing for Sheffield Boys and Woodhouse Mills United, he turned professional with West Bromwich Albion in February 1931.[2] He scored in the 4–2 1935 FA Cup Final defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, the club he supported as a boy.[2] In February 1938 Boyes joined Everton for a £6000 fee [2] and instantly formed a great left wing partnership with Alex Stevenson, which helped the side clinch the 1938/39 league title.[3]

During the Second World War, he appeared as a guest player for Aldershot, Brentford, Clapton Orient, Leeds United, Manchester United, Middlesbrough, Millwall, Newcastle United, Preston North End and Sunderland.[2]

In June 1949, Boyes took up the role of player-coach at Notts County.[2] He was Scunthorpe United's player-trainer between 1950 and 1953.[2] He later became player-manager at Retford Town (1954) and Hyde United (1958).[2] Boyes joined Swansea Town as trainer in 1959, but retired due to illness in May of the following year.[2]
