Trevor Price (1944 – 2025)

It is with deep sadness that we report the passing of former player, Trevor Price, who was a member of the Workington squad in the sixties. He has been in hospital in recent weeks and died on Sunday at the age of 80.

Trevor attended our Centenary Dinner a few years ago and was a popular man in the town.

Trevor Price

A long overdue first team debut came his way in 1964 just before his 20th birthday. He had played for the Reserves in a game against Hull City Reserves at Borough Park and scored in a 3-4 defeat. Two weeks later he was called up to the first team for the Third Division fixture against…….Hull City. He marked his Football League debut by scoring against the Tigers, again, albeit in a 1-3 defeat.

Trevor retained his place for the Boxing Day derby against Carlisle United at Brunton Park but never played for the seniors again. He would certainly have had made more Football League appearances had it not been for the fact that two of Reds best ever wingers, Barry Lowes and Geoff Martin, were ahead of him in the pecking order. At the end of the ’64-65 campaign he was released and joined Netherfield.

Appeared in over seventy games for the Reserves, scoring 31 goals in the process, and, after his time at Kendal, remained a prominent player in local football representing Haig Colliery for a while.

We send our condolences to his family and friends.
