Career

[edit]

Halliday joined Dumbarton in March 1963 and made a goalscoring debut for the club in a 3–1 victory over East Stirlingshire.[3] He scored 21 goals in 28 league appearances for Dumbarton, leading Cardiff City manager George Swindin to pay £5,000 to sign him in October 1963.[4] He made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw with South Wales rivals Swansea Town and made sixteen league appearances, scoring twice. However, he was displaced in the first team by Derek Tapscott and subsequently returned to Dumbarton.[4]
