[edit] Club Career

Fazackerley had a trial with the reserve team of his home club Preston but that was unsuccessful. He played with Accrington Stanley before moving to Hull city where he scored 19 goals in 27 Division 2 games. This brought him to the attention of Sheffield United who paid £1000 for his services. He took part in the FA Cup final in 1915 ^[2] and scored the second Sheffield goal by heading in a shot from Wally Masterman that had rebounded from the bar. ^[3]
