He joined West Ham United as a youngster and was an FA Youth Cup finalist in 1957 before going on to establish himself in the first team. He was a member of West Ham's 1965 European Cup Winners' Cup-winning side. He signed for Chelsea for a fee of £27,000 on 11 March 1966. He made his debut the following day in a 2-0 win against Manchester United and appeared regularly over the course of the season.
