He went on to play for Mansfield Mechanics and later Watford, for whom he played 75 times in all competitions. Watford sold winger Tattersall and wing half Arthur Grimsdell to Tottenham Hotspur in 1912, for a combined fee of £500.[2] He scored five goals in 47 matches in all competitions for the Lilywhites.[3] After leaving White Hart Lane, Tattersall had spells at Shirebrook, Welbeck Colliery and finally Sutton Junction.
