Life and careerHigham was born in Daventry, Northamptonshire.[1] He was a serving soldier with the Royal Field Artillery{{snd}}hence the nickname "Gunner"{{snd}}stationed at Preston Barracks, Brighton, when he signed amateur forms with Southern League club Brighton & Hove Albion in 1907. When he finished his term, he signed as a professional in January 1909, and was a first-team regular for the next two-and-a-half seasons. Higham remained an Army reservist, so was called up at the outbreak of the First World War and missed the entire 1914–15 season. He was posted to France, and wrote letters home from the front that were published in the local press.[1][1] He returned to the Albion team for 1919–20, their last Southern League season before their admission to the newly formed Football League Third Division, at the end of which he was awarded a benefit match; the proceeds of £605 was then a record for a Southern League benefit.[2] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://media.thekeep.info/gb179/SussexDailyNews_1915_Feb_2Feb.pdf |format=PDF |title=Letter from Gunner Higham |newspaper=Sussex Daily News |date=2 February 1915 |page=6}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Higham, Gunner}}{{England-footy-midfielder-1880s-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite book |first1=Tim |last1=Carder |first2=Roger |last2=Harris |title=Albion A–Z: A Who's Who of Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. |publisher=Goldstone Books |location=Hove |date=1997 |page=112 |isbn=978-0-9521337-1-1}} 8 : 1887 births|Year of death missing|People from Daventry|English footballers|Association football wing halves|Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. players|Southern Football League players|Royal Field Artillery soldiers |
