He was educated at Clarke's College in The Avenue, Southampton.[2] He joined the ground staff at Southampton Football Club as an amateur in August 1933. He soon "showed an eye for goal" and was given a professional contract in October 1934, becoming an established member of the reserves, playing in the Football Combination.[2] He made his first-team debut when he took the place of the injured Dick Neal for the Second Division match at Swansea Town on 19 September 1936. Withers played at outside-right in this match, which ended in a 5–1 defeat. Withers made five more appearances that season as cover for injured players in various positions across the forward line, without scoring.[3] In December 1937, he moved to Bristol Rovers of the Third Division South, where he became a more settled member of the first team, making 17 league appearances, generally at inside-right, scoring four goals.[4] In the summer of 1938, however, his professional career was over and he returned to Southampton, where he continued to play local non-league football with Bramtoco Sports.[2] Later careerWithin a year, he left Southampton to move to London where he worked as a sports masseur.[2] After the Second World War, he returned to Hampshire and became an accountant.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite book| last1=Chalk| first1=Gary| last2=Holley| first2=Duncan| last3=Bull|first3=David|title=All the Saints: A Complete Players' Who's Who of Southampton FC| year=2013| location=Southampton| publisher=Hagiology Publishing| isbn=978-0-9926-8640-6|p=207}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Withers, Ted}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book | title=The Alphabet of the Saints|last= Holley |first= Duncan |author2=Chalk, Gary | publisher= ACL & Polar Publishing |year=1992| isbn=0-9514862-3-3|page=372}} 3. ^{{cite book | title=Saints – A complete record|last= Chalk|first= Gary|author2=Holley, Duncan | publisher= Breedon Books| year=1987| isbn= 0-907969-22-4|page=97}} 4. ^{{cite book |title=Football League Players' Records 1888 to 1939 |last=Joyce |first=Michael |year=2004 |publisher=Tony Brown |location=Nottingham |isbn=1-899468-67-6|page=285}} 8 : 1915 births|People from New Forest District|1994 deaths|English footballers|English Football League players|Association football forwards|Southampton F.C. players|Bristol Rovers F.C. players |
