He scored on his debut, against Millwall, and missed just one game that season, the final game against Swindon Town.[5] After returning to Swindon Town for another season,[12] he moved to Portsmouth, where he would spend the next seven seasons.[2] He was Portsmouth's top scorer in 1906–07, when the club finished as runners-up in the Southern League First Division.[2] By October 1910, he had scored 100 goals and received a £220 benefit from the club. In all Kirby scored 81 goals in 224 Southern League appearances, as well as 22 goals in 36 Western League appearances and four in 12 FA Cup outings.[6] Kirby was re-called by Preston for the 1911–12 season, where he was top scorer and earned a Second Division championship medal.[3] He then had spells at Exeter City, Merthyr Town and Croydon Common, playing in their last ever match, before spending the 1916–17 season at Brentford.[6] Personal lifeKirby served in the Royal Engineers during the First World War, prior to being invalided out and working at the Royal Arsenal.[6] He re-enlisted in 1917 and saw action with the 6th (Pioneer) Battalion, attached to the East Yorkshire Regiment, at the Battle of Polygon Wood (part of the Battle of Passchendaele). He was killed in action during the offensive in October of that year.[7] He is buried at Bard Cottage Cemetery in West Flanders, Belgium.[8][9] HonoursPreston North End
