Player Profile

A half-back who made just a single first division appearance for Liverpool in both the 1912/13 and 1913/14 seasons. His first game was as a member of the side that crashed 4-1 at Manchester City on 18 January 1913 and his second match was a goalless draw with West Bromwich Albion at Anfield on 27 September 1913. Holden lost a leg in World War I. On 3 May 1919 Liverpool and Tranmere played a testimonial game for him where each Liverpool player donated £2 to the fund and where bags of 2 lb. sugar were auctioned off several times and a pipe raised £15.
