He made over 100 League appearances for Queens Park Rangers. Playing careerBorn in West Sleekburn, Northumberland, Poppitt played for local club West Sleekburn Welfare before joining Derby County in May 1945, the Second World War having prevented him from signing earlier. Although usually a right back, he made his first team debut for Derby in February 1947 as a centre forward. With Bert Mozley as the regular right back, Poppitt played mainly for the reserve team, but did make 16 Football League appearances for Derby before being transferred to Queens Park Rangers (QPR) in September 1950. He went on to make 106 League appearances for QPR before leaving the club in 1954.[2] Poppitt went on to have a long career in non-League football, firstly with Chelmsford City, who he joined in July 1954. He later signed for Burton Albion in June 1955, Banbury Spencer in May 1957, Corby Town in June 1958 and Long Eaton United in January 1960. He was also player-coach of Matlock Town for two years from May 1965.[2] After retiring from football, Poppitt settled in Derby, where he worked for the East Midlands Electricity Board. He died in Derby on 12 February 2014, aged 91.[3] References1. ^{{Hugman|15909|accessdate=13 April 2017}} 2. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Mortimer|first1=Gerald|authorlink=Gerald Mortimer|title=The Who's Who of Derby County|date=2004|publisher=Breedon Books|location=Derby|isbn=1859834094|page=148}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Former Derby County full-back John Poppitt dies, aged 91|url=http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/derby-county-john-poppitt-dies-aged-91/story-20771118-detail/story.html|accessdate=13 April 2017|work=Derby Telegraph|date=6 March 2014|language=en}} External links
