Early life
Partridge was born to David and Martha Partridge in 1891 in the village of Lye, near Stourbridge, Worcestershire and spent much of his pre-adult life there.[2]
By the time he was 20 Teddy had moved to Wales and was working underground in the coal mines near Mynyddislwyn.[3]
He signed on (as Edward Wooldridge) to serve in the British Army in World War I, being in the Duke of Wellington's (West Riding) Regiment.[4]
Football career
After the war, Partridge joined Ebbw Vale and scored 36 goals for them in the 1919–20 season. He then joined Manchester United for the next season and was a regular first team selection for the next three years. "...from inside left has developed into one of the fastest and cleverest left wingers playing. Is a regular box o' tricks and a real flyer."[5]
Partridge was placed on the transfer list at the end of the 1928–29 season and in early July 1929 it was announced that he'd been signed by Halifax Town.[6] His stay with Halifax was short-lived, as in November the team and Partridge agreed to part ways.[7] The following year, he was playing at Crewe Alexandra.[8][9] In 1931, he was made the captain of Darwen.[10]
Personal and later life
Partridge married Nora Roberts in 1922. In 1939 they were living in Stretford, Lancashire, with his occupation listed as aircraft trainee at Metro-Vickers.[11]
When Nora died in Manchester in 1967, Partridge was listed as a retired electrician's labourer, and at his death in early June 1970, he was still at the same address in Aldwick Avenue, Didsbury.[12]
