Career
Adams was active as an outside runner with the Wolverhampton Wanderers as a youth and came in May 1956 as an amateur to the English second division side Port Vale , two years later he became a part-time professional. Adams, who had been retrained as a defender at Port Vale, came to his only competitive game for the first team on April 26, 1958 - the club had since been relegated to the Third Division South - in a 4-1 away defeat by Brentford FC . Port Vale missed at the end of the season as fifteenth in the table, qualifying for the new single-track third division and was passed through to the fourth division . Adams stayed with Port Vale until May 1960 and played regularly on the reserve team.
After a short interlude at fourth division Crewe Alexandra Adams joined the Cheshire County League amateur club Macclesfield in early 1961 , in the same division he already played with the reserves of Port Vale. In 1962 he won the league championship with Macclesfield before he had to end his career in October 1963 because of a knee injury. During his time at Macclesfield, Adams worked full-time as a draftsman at the Royal Ordnance Factory in Radway Green .
