Davey Brown

Davey was one of the finest native born center forwards ever produced in the United States.

Ironically in a position usually dominated by big men, Brown stood just 5 ft 3 inches tall. He began his career with a series of New Jersey teams, Ford, West Hudson, Paterson and then Erie A.A. He began his career in the professional American Soccer League with Harrison, but really attracted national attention for his performances with the New York Giants. During the 1926-27 season Davie scored 52 goals in 38 games to lead the league in scoring and during the course of his ASL career scored a total of 189 goals. During his record 1926-27 season Brown scored 21 goals in nine games during the month of October. On November 21, Brown scored another five against Providence. He made three appearances for the United States national team, two against Canada in 1925, both at outside right, and against Canada again in 1926, this time at center forward, scoring three times in the three games. Injury kept him out of the 1930 U.S. World Cup team, but he did go overseas to play as a guest player for Bethlehem Steel on its Scandinavian tour in 1919 and St. Louis in 1920.
