Career
[edit]Wordley Joined Stoke from local side Summerbank in time for the first season after World War II.[1] He made his debut in a 5–0 win against Preston North End in February 1947 and went on to play four more times during the 1946–47 season as Stoke narrowly missed out on the First Division title.[1] However Wordley failed to make an impression on manager Bob McGrory and made just five more league appearances in the next three seasons.[1] Following his release in 1950 he joined Bury but failed to break in to the side and decided to pursue a different career.[1]
