[edit] Football career
Holden began his professional playing career with Bolton Wanderers in 1951. He made over 400 appearances for Bolton, and was on the losing side in the famous 4–3 loss to Blackpool in the 1953 "Matthews Cup Final" and then on the winning side in the 1958 FA Cup Final against Manchester United.
With five international caps to his name, Holden was recognized as one of the top wingers of his generation, with the ability to play on either wing. After Bolton he moved to Preston North End, scoring a goal in their 1964 FA Cup Final defeat against West Ham United.
He remained at Deepdale until the summer of 1965, when he emigrated to Australia, where he played for Hakoah of Sydney until 1968. He then became Hakoah's coach, before moving to coach Auburn. He finished his coaching career in Australia with Sydney City, before returning to England in 1970, where he had a spell coaching with Grimsby Town.[1]
