Wednesday, November 6 – 1935
Arsenal last night signed as a professional Ronnie Westcott, a centre forward from Banbury Spencer, the Oxfordshire amateur club, which competes in the Birmingham Combination.
Westcott, who is 22 years of age, 5ft. 11in. high, and weighs 11st. 12lb, scored 40 goals for Banbury Spencer last season. Arsenal tried him in the reserve match against Southend United last Saturday and he scored a “hat trick.”
Before assisting Banbury Spencer, Westcott played as an amateur with New Brighton and Liverpool Reserves.
