*Club domestic league appearances and goals

At Hearts (who were reigning Scottish champions at the time he joined the club), Holt won the 1962–63 Scottish League Cup during his nine-year spell at Tynecastle Park and was an important member of the team which only missed out on the 1964–65 Scottish Division One title on goal average.[6] However, he was released on a free transfer in 1969 and later stated he felt he had been badly treated by the club.[7]

Holt, who earned five caps for Scottish national side, also represented Great Britain at the 1960 Summer Olympics[8][7][6][9] (being able to do so as he played for Queen's Park who operated on an amateur basis).^{[citation needed]}

He later worked as a taxi driver for many years.[7][6]
