[edit] Club career
Harry Gough was born in Chesterfield and played for non-league sides Spital Olympic and Castleford Town before joining Bradford Park Avenue in 1910. He played 3 games for Bradford before returning to Castleford Town.
In 1913 he moved to Sheffield United where over the next 10 years he would make 242 league appearances and win an FA Cup winners' medal in 1915. A decision to become a publican in Castleford broke the conditions of his contract and he left Bramall Lane at the end of the 12923-24 season. His final game for United was a 2-0 County Cup Final victory over the Wednesday.
Returning to play for Castleford Town Gough subsequently moved to Harrogate from where he joined Oldham Athletic in 1926. He played four times for Oldham, moving to Bolton Wanderers in 1927, playing four league games before joining Torquay United in the summer of 1928. He immediately dislodged Archie Bayes as Torquay's first choice goalkeeper, missing just 3 games in his first season. He played 17 times the following season, losing his place to Bayes, and retired at the end of the season.
[edit] International career
Gough won his only full England international cap on 9 April 1921 against Scotland at Hampden Park, Scotland winning 3-0.
