Life and career


Hellawell was born in Keighley, West Riding of Yorkshire.[1] He and his brother John, who also played football professionally, attended St Bede's Grammar School in Bradford.[2] Hellawell signed for Queens Park Rangers in August 1955 from Salts, a small non-League club from Saltaire, and made his debut in the home match against Exeter City on 25 February 1956.[3] He was selected to play for the Third Division South representative team against the Northern Section in April 1957.[4] He played 45 games in the Football League for Rangers[1] before being transferred to Birmingham City in 1957.[4]

While with Birmingham he played in the 1961 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final, won the League Cup in 1963,[4] and won his two full caps for England, against France and Northern Ireland in 1962.[5] After eight years at Birmingham he went on to play league football for Sunderland, Huddersfield Town and Peterborough United and non-league football for Bromsgrove Rovers.[6]

Hellawell also showed promise as a cricket all-rounder for Warwickshire, for whom he played one first-class match.[7]
