Ted Calland joined Fulham in April 1952 from Durham City. He was unable to break into the Fulham first-team and left in September 1952, joining Torquay on a free transfer, linking up with his older brothers Ralph and Albert. His league debut came the same season, and although not a first-team regular he managed to score 21 goals in 47 league games for the Gulls.
In July 1957 he moved to Exeter City for a fee of £1,500 and was to have 3 successful seasons with the Grecians, scoring 49 times in 105 league games. He left Exeter in August 1960 on a free transfer, joining Port Vale. The supporters nicknamed him "Cheyenne", but he lost his first team spot after just a month before leaving on a free transfer for Lincoln City in July 1961.[1] He scored three times in seven league games to bring down the curtain on his league career, later playing for non-league side Cheltenham Town.
After retirement Calland returned to Torquay and ran the Torbay Cab Company. He died in May 1995 after a long illness and was survived by his widow Mary, eldest son Carl (who now runs the taxi company), daughter Natasha and youngest son Tyrone.
