Although he initially started as a centre-half with Royston Rosebery in 1946, he played in goal shortly before being transferred to Edinburgh City during the 1949–50 season. He joined Dunfermline Athletic at the start of the 1951–52 season, who at the time were in the Scottish Football League "B" Division. He made eleven first-team appearances; 9 in the league and 2 in the Supplementary Cup before moving on to Brechin City at the start of the 1952–53 season.[2] Tidy was part of the Brechin City team which won the Scottish Football League "C" Division Championship title in the 1953–54 season and was the youngest member of the team. He was the only member of the Brechin City team to play in all 42 games during the 1952–53 season and all 40 games during the Championship winning season of 1953–54. He was freed at the end of the 1954–55 season and joined junior side Arniston Rangers FC[3] in June 1956. But he returned to Senior football with Berwick Rangers FC in October 1956[4] making 13 league appearances and 2 in the Scottish Cup before leaving Senior football in August 1957. He then returned to the Junior ranks to complete his playing career with Peebles Rovers FC.[5] HonoursBrechin City References |
