Career

Born in Swansea, Darmody played in Wales for Tower United and Cardiff Nomads before joining English Third Division South side Norwich City in 1946.[1] He made two appearances for the Canaries,[3][4] making his debut on Christmas Day 1946 away to Bournemouth in a 1–0 victory.[5] He was on the team sheet for the return fixture the following day at Carrow Road in what was to be his final appearance for Norwich in a 6–1 defeat.[6]

Darmody joined Colchester United in 1948, making his debut in a 2–1 Southern League win over Guildford City on 29 March.[7] His final appearance came less than one month later in a 2–1 away defeat to Exeter City Reserves on 14 April 1948.[8] After leaving Colchester, he signed for Great Yarmouth Town[1] where he had a trophy named in his honour for the 'outstanding young player' of the year.[9]

Aubrey Darmody died in Great Yarmouth on 9 February 2006, leaving behind wife Cindy and daughter Lynne.[2]
