Reginald Boyne was a New Zealand[1] professional football inside forward who played in the Football League for Aston Villa and Brentford.[2]

Career

Early years

Born in Leeds, Boyne emigrated to New Zealand at a young age.[2] He began his career in intermediate football in New Zealand, before travelling back to England and playing junior football in his native Yorkshire.[3]

Aston Villa

Boyne joined high-flying Division One side Aston Villa on trial in August 1913 and was awarded a professional contract in December that year.[3] He made his professional debut in a 1-0 defeat to Bradford City on 27 December 1913.[4] Boyne made just three further appearances during the 1913/14 season and only managed four appearances during the whole of the 1914/15 season,[4] before competitive football was suspended due to the ongoing First World War. Boyne made a further five wartime appearances for Villa, before departing in August 1919.[3]

Guest appearances

During the First World War, Boyne appeared as a guest for Notts County and Leicester Fosse.[3] He made 23 appearances and scored two goals in the Football League Midland Section for Leicester.[5][6] He also played for Loughborough Brush during the war.[7]

Brentford

Boyne dropped into non-league football and joined Southern League Division One side Brentford in August 1919.[2] While the club's league form was lacking, Boyne had a good 1919/20 season, top-scoring with 13 goals.[2] He was retained for the 1920/21 season and received another chance at league football, with Brentford entered into the newly created Division Three South.[2] Boyne had the honour of scoring Brentford's first Football League goal, which came with the only goal of the game versus Millwall on 30 August 1920.[8] In a dire debut season (at the end of which the Bees had to apply for re-election), Boyne scored 10 goals in 22 games.[9] He was released in May 1920 and returned to New Zealand.[2]
