the visitors in a game Tapscott described as "the best I ever played in". An injury sustained while playing for Wales during the 1957–58 season, put Tapscott out of Arsenal's first team, and he then struggled to oust his replacement Vic Groves once he had returned to full fitness. He thus left Arsenal in September 1958, moving to Cardiff City, whom he had rejected earlier on in the season. In all, he scored 68 goals in 132 matches for Arsenal. Cardiff City Joining the "Bluebirds" for a fee of £10,000, Tapscott made his debut in a 4–1 win over Grimsby Town. Cardiff, managed by his former manager at Barry Town, Bill Jones, won promotion back to the First Division in 1960. This came with Tapscott forming an effective partnership with his ex-Arsenal teammate Brian Walsh. Tapscott is also the club's record holder for the most goals scored within a game with six netted during a 16–0 win over Knighton Town in the Welsh Cup. Tapscott was also part of the Cardiff side that played in the club's first ever European competition when they reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, including scoring the winning goal against Sporting Clube de Portugal in the second round. He played his final game for Cardiff on 6 February 1965 in a 2–0 defeat to Northampton Town as injury kept him out of the side for the remainder of the 1964–65 season and at the end of the season he was released. Altogether Tapscott scored 102 goals from a sum of 234 appearances for the club making him Cardiff City's sixth-highest goalscorer of all time. Later career Following his release, Tapscott received offers from South African side Addington and a player-manager role at Sligo Rovers but, not wanting to move away from his Cardiff home, he signed for Division Four side Newport County. However, he appeared just 15 times for the club, scoring one goal during a 3–1 win over Bradford City on 7 March 1966, before leaving at the end of the 1965–66 season. He later moved into non-league football with spells at Cinderford Town, Haverfordwest County and Carmarthen Town before retiring in 1970. International career Having made just one appearance for the Arsenal first team, Tapscott was named in the Wales squad for a match with Austria. On 9 May 1954 Tapscott made his Wales debut in a 2–0 defeat to
