Ormond played for Falkirk, Airdrie and Dumbarton in his native Scotland, before emigrating to New Zealand in 1961.[4] Ormond made his full All Whites debut in a 4-1 win over New Caledonia on 2 June 1962[5] and played his second and final official FIFA A-international 2 days later, also against New Caledonia, scoring in the 4-2 win.[6][7]

Ormond has good football pedigree, his brother Willie Ormond represented Scotland at the 1954 FIFA World Cup as a player and the 1974 FIFA World Cup as manager, while his sons Iain Ormond and Duncan Ormond,[8] and granddaughter Vicki Ormond also represented New Zealand.[9]
