Ernest "Ernie" Hudson (born November 23, 1926 in Carlisle ; † April 28, 2017 ) was an English football player .

Career

Born in Carlisle , England , Hudson grew up in Edinburgh, Scotland , and trained as an electrician . In November 1948 he came from Edinburgh Waverley to the Scottish first division club FC East Fife , for which he played three league games between 1949 and 1952. In 1952 he moved to Oxford , England , began a job at the Southern Electricity Board and joined the club Headington United , which played in the Southern League . The club had introduced Profitum in 1949 and Hudson played as a part-time professional mostly on the position of the outside runner .

In his first season he came after his debut on November 1, 1952 against FC Dartford , in a further 17 league games when the club around the players Jack Ansell , captain Frank Ramshaw, Bobby Craig and Harry Yates the championship of the Southern League for the first time won, only thanks to the better goal quotient over series winner Merthyr Tydfil . In the two final games of the Southern League Cup against FC Weymouth , however, he was not taken into account, although he was still used in the semi-final against Guildford City .

Another highlight of Hudson's career was the 1953/54 FA Cup , in which the club knocked out the Football League teams Millwall and Stockport County in the next two rounds after four victorious qualifying rounds and a first-round win against Harwich & Parkeston in the next two rounds . He missed the celebrations after the third round win over Stockport after suffering a concussion in the closing stages of the game, played the game dazed and was brought home straight after the final whistle. It was only in the fourth round of the cup that the team failed in front of over 16,000 spectators at the local Manor Ground with 2: 4 at the first division side Bolton Wanderers . Meanwhile, Hudson, who stood out above all with his header and tackle strength, had scored his only competitive goal for Headington on September 12, 1953 in the league against Gloucester City . The title defense in the league you missed as second in the table, in the victorious league cup final against Lovell's Athletic he was again not involved.

In the following three seasons, Hudson continued to play in about half of the season's games before ending his career in May 1957 after 117 competitive games (1 goal). Hudson lived in Oxford for most of his life, moving back to Carlisle in 2010. Having suffered from Alzheimer's, he died in a nursing home in April 2017.
