Career
[edit]Higginson probably joined Burslem Port Vale in 1890.[1] He enjoyed a successful spell with the team. He was between the sticks for two cup final victories – the North Staffordshire Charity Challenge Cup in 1891 and the Staffordshire Charity Cup in 1892.[1] He played 43 matches for the club in all; including 21 friendlies, one Football League Second Division and 17 Midland League matches.[1] However, he failed to turn up at the Athletic Ground for a league match with Grimsby Town in February 1893, after conceding two goals to them the previous month.[1] He was not selected again and was instead released at the end of 1892–93 season.[1]
