He won 20 caps for England, including three as captain. He began his career at Portsmouth, helping "Pompey" to win the Third Division South title in 1923–24. He then transferred to Port Vale, and impressed at the club enough to win a move to Sheffield Wednesday in February 1927. He spent eight years with the club, helping Wednesday to win the First Division title in 1928–29 and 1929–30. He ended his professional career at Bradford Park Avenue in 1936. Over the course of his 14 years in the Football League he scored 63 goals in 382 league appearances. He spent a brief spell as manager of Bedford Town after World War II. Club careerStrange was born in Ripley, Derbyshire and as a youth played for the Marehay Colliery team, where he was spotted by scouts from Portsmouth, for whom he signed as a professional in December 1922. He started his career with Portsmouth as a centre-forward and in his two seasons there he scored 16 goals from 24 league appearances, helping them to win the Third Division South title in 1923–24. Frustrated at the lack of regular first team opportunities at Fratton Park, Strange moved to Second Division club Port Vale in 1924.[1] His excellent ball control and powerful shots impressed the fans at The Old Recreation Ground, as the club enjoyed some of its most successful years with three successive eighth-place finishes.[1] At Port Vale he was a regular selection at inside forward, scoring seven goals in 33 league and FA Cup games in 1924–25.[1] He claimed 17 goals in 42 games in 1925–26, including a hat-trick in a 4–2 win over Clapton Orient on 2 January and four goals in a 5–0 victory over Blackpool on 6 February.[1] He scored five goals in 28 appearances in the first half of the 1926–27 season.[1] In February 1927 he was transferred to Sheffield Wednesday, with Harry Anstiss and "a substantial financial consideration" moving in the opposite direction.[1] He claimed five goals in just 13 First Division games in the latter half of the 1926–27 campaign.[2] He was limited to only 17 appearances in the 1927–28 season.[2] After he was switched to right half "his career blossomed".[3] He was an "ever present" when Wednesday won the Football League title in 1928–29, and in the following season he missed only one league match as Wednesday claimed the title for the second consecutive year.[2] He played in Sheffield Wednesday's 2–1 defeat by Arsenal in the Charity Shield at Stamford Bridge in October 1930.[4] Strange played 42 games in 1930–31,[2] as Wednesday dropped to third position with Arsenal running away with the title. He scored three goals in 45 matches in 1931–32,[2] helping the club to another third-place finish behind Arsenal and champions Everton. He claimed five goals in 43 appearances in the 1932–33 season,[2] as Wednesday made another third-place finish behind Arsenal and Aston Villa. However, he featured just 20 times in the 1933–34 season.[2] He missed out on all but one game of the 1934–35 season and was unable to play in any of Wednesday's matches in the FA Cup, when they went on to win the final against West Bromwich Albion 4–2. In May 1935, after 253 league and 19 cup appearances at Hillsborough,[2] Strange transferred to Second Division side Bradford Park Avenue. He played the 1935–36 season at Horsfall Stadium before dropping down to lower league football, returning to his place of birth to play for Ripley Town. He also played for the Raleigh Cycles team and for Corsham United. International careerStrange was selected to represent the Football League three times, before receiving his first England cap for the match against Scotland on 5 April 1930. He played at right half as England won 5–2, with Vic Watson and Strange's Wednesday teammate Ellis Rimmer each scoring twice. Two other Sheffield Wednesday players, Ernie Blenkinsop and Billy Marsden, also played in this match.[5] In May 1930, he accompanied England on a European tour where he played against Germany and Austria, both matches being drawn. He continued to be selected for England over the next few years, being appointed captain for a 5–2 loss to France on 14 May 1931 and a 3–1 win over Wales on 18 November 1931.[6] His final England appearance came at White Hart Lane on 6 December 1933, when he was able to gain "revenge" for the defeat by France two years earlier, with England winning 4–1 (George Camsell scoring twice).[7] Post-retirementFollowing World War II, Strange was appointed manager of Southern League side Bedford Town in April 1945, a position he held until resigning in January 1947.[8] After retiring from football, he settled in Ripley and worked as a poultry farmer.[9] In 1979 a room at the Ripley Leisure Centre was named the "Alf Strange Room" in his honour.[10] StatisticsSource:[11]
