Life and careerSwinfen was born in Battersea, London, in 1915.[1] He worked as a postman,[5] and by 1933 was playing football for the Civil Service club.[2] From there he joined Queens Park Rangers (QPR) of the Third Division South, initially as an amateur centre forward with considerable pace.[1][3] He turned professional in March 1936,[1] and made his first-team debut the following September, playing at inside right in a 2–1 win at home to Clapton Orient. He first scored during his fifth of seven appearances that season; playing at centre forward, he contributed a hat-trick in a 7–0 defeat of Newport County[4] Swinfen played three first-team matches in 1937–38, all at right half,[5] before making 18 appearances at right back in the first half of the 1938–39 season.[6] During the war, Swinfen served in the Royal Air Force[7] and in the British Army of the Rhine.[8] When available, he played wartime football for QPR.[9] He made his final appearance in the Football League playing at left back in a 2–0 defeat at home to Bristol Rovers.[10] In June 1947, Swinfen became Yeovil Town's record signing, for a fee reported as "in the region of £500"; the Western Morning News described him as "well-known as an amateur sprinter."[11] He was the club's top scorer in the 1947–48 season, with 18 goals in Southern League competition,[12] and moved in to another Southern League club, Tonbridge, in January 1949.[13] He remained a Tonbridge player until at least 1951,[14] and went on to play for other non-league clubs including Crawley Town.[15] Swinfen died in Crawley in October 1996 at the age of 81.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{Hugman|19142|accessdate=26 June 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Swinfen, Reg}}2. ^{{cite news |title=Civil Service 5 R.A.F.
