Playing career
Crockford played for Chatham, Vicar of Wakefield, Fulham and Exeter City, before joining Port Vale in May 1923.[1] He scored on his debut on 25 August, in a 2–1 victory over Crystal Palace at the Nest, and scored again two days later in a 2–0 win over Sheffield Wednesday at The Old Recreation Ground.[1] However Vale lost the next four Second Division games of the 1923–24 season, and he left by mutual consent the next month due to his poor form and was replaced by Tom Butler.[1] Crockford moved on to Chesterfield, Gillingham, Accrington Stanley, Walsall, Darlington, Norwich City, Bedford Town and Tunbridge Wells Rangers.[1]
