Malcolm Pyke (born 6 March 1938) [1] is an English former footballer who played as a wing half for West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Dartford.
Playing career
Born in Eltham, London, Pyke was a youth team player with West Ham United. He made his first team debut on 22 April 1957 in a 3–1 home win against Bristol City.[1] He was a member of Ted Fenton's side which won the 1957–58 Second Division but did not make any appearances the following season as West Ham returned to the 1958–59 First Division.[2] He made only 22 appearances for "The Hammers" before moving to Crystal Palace on 9 June 1959[3] in exchange for Ron Brett. His Palace career was even shorter and amounted to only two games before he moved to Dartford, in June 1960.[3][4]
After football
When his football career ended Pyke became the landlord of the Papermakers Arms pub in Dartford, Kent.[2]
