Leslie William Adlam, an English professional footballer who played for Cardiff City, Oldham Athletic, and Queens Park Rangers in the Football League, died on June 24, 1975.
He started out as a center forward for non-league team Guildford United before switching to a wing-half for Oldham, where he played more than 250 times.
Adlam was a center-forward for non-league Guildford United when he caught the eye of Oldham Athletic, who signed him for a club record fee of £300 in March 1923, beating out competition from Bristol Rovers. He quickly converted to a right-hander and made over 250 appearances in all competitions during his eight seasons with Oldham. In April 1930, he was granted a benefit match against Bristol City, which guaranteed him at least £500.
He left the club in 1931 after two years as captain of Queens Park Rangers. He left the Rangers in 1933 after failing to reach an agreement on a new contract. In December 1933, he signed with Cardiff City of the Third Division South. He made his debut in a 3-1 defeat to Northampton Town on December 23rd, after missing the club’s first match due to a lack of fitness. He played in the three following games, two against Coventry City and one against Watford. The club’s directors, on the other hand, decided to release Adlam in the first week of January 1934.
