Don was a junior player for Blackpool before signing for Morecambe as a player in 1960, for a short term he transferred to Altrincham before returning to the club. Don played a key role in the success of the team in the 1960's, being a key part of the normal back line. He left in 1971 after making 376 appearances for the club, moving to Penrith and then Trimpell in the West Lancashire League. Don returned as Manager in November 1979 but he struggled with the limited finances and resources at that time and felt he had to resign in September 1981 after an indifferent start to the season 1981/82.
