Biography

Willocks played locally for Fairfield and prior to playing for ourselves he had trials with Hibs and Celtic in autumn 1907. The following spring Willocks played a trial match for ourselves and was signed up at Gayfield in March 1908. Willocks was a regular fixture in the side over the next two seasons despite missing a period of the 1909-10 season with a dislocated shoulder and in the summer of 1910, at the age of 21, he moved South to sign for Glossop North End alongside Ned MacDonald.

After a year in Glossop, he returned to his native town to find employment and signed up at Gayfield again. However, despite being able to play anywhere across the front line and possessing a superb cross, Willocks was unable to nail down a position in the team and only featured in nine competitive matches during the 1911-12 season before he left the club that summer. He continued to reside in the town and played football intermittently, and he returned to the fold and played in two further competitive games for the club during the 1914-15 season when we were struggling for players.

In April 1919, after the finish of WW1, Willocks was elected to the committee at the AGM.
