Playing career
Holland enjoyed a promising start to his football career by being selected to play for England Schoolboys and England Youth while twice winning the FA Youth Cup with Manchester United.[1] Despite captaining the club's reserve side,[1] Holland never made a league appearance at Old Trafford although he was an unused substitute on three occasions.[1]
In March 1960, he moved to Wrexham for £2,000, going on to spend six years with the North Wales side before joining local rivals Chester in March 1966. After six league appearances he dropped into Non-League football with Altrincham.
After retiring from football, he joined the Staffordshire Police and spent 27 years with the force before retiring in 1994.[1]
Holland died on 3 January 2019 at the age of 78.[2]
