Sid was with Norwich City. He joined United on a temporary transfer during WW2. When he was released by Norwich City in December 1941 and then became a signed United player, although he was with the Club for a very short time. He was also an accomplished amateur boxer and won the Midlands and District Lightweight Amateur title in Brechin on 24th January 1942. A month later he left the area, although United retained his registration until he was released in April 1946.
East Fife should have had the points secure on the run of play, but a brilliant Brownlie in the United goal denied them.
