Timeline

1906

Henry Edward Hibbs (27 May 1906 – 23 April 1984) was an English footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Birmingham and England in the 1920s and 1930s.

His uncle and cousin – Hubert Pearson and Harold Pearson – were also both professional players.

1920

Prior to Hibbs's debut, the England selectors had tried 21 different goalkeepers in the nine years since Sam Hardy's retirement in 1920.

1922

Hibbs was born in Wilnecote, Staffordshire and, whilst training as a plumber, played for his local club sides Wilnecote Holy Trinity and Tamworth Castle, who had some torrid seasons in the Birmingham and District Football League (the club conceding a total 164 goals over the 1922 and 1923 seasons).

1924

Despite this, Hibbs came to the attention of Birmingham when he was 17 years of age, and impressed so much in trials that he was offered professional forms in May 1924.

Among such club legends as Frank Womack and Joe Bradford, Hibbs became a regular feature of Billy Beer's side, but it was a barren period in the club's history.

1928

Leslie Knighton's arrival from Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic in 1928 signalled an improvement in fortunes for both Hibbs and Birmingham.

Hibbs was part of an FA tour to South Africa and made three appearances for the Football League XI.

1929

His form on the FA tour earned him a call up for England, and he was selected to play Wales at Stamford Bridge on 20 November 1929.

England won the match 6–0, with a hat-trick from George Camsell He was selected for the "Professionals" in the 1929 FA Charity Shield, but missed the game due to an injury.

1930

Hibbs was almost a "carbon copy" of Hardy, unspectacular but highly reliable, preferring to do everything in as simple a manner as possible, a style that was to see him become England's most capped goalkeeper up to that time, as he was selected 25 times for England (ten clean sheets), becoming a main-stay well into the mid-1930s.

1931

Birmingham reached the FA Cup final in 1931, in which they lost 2–1 to a strong West Bromwich Albion side.

1932

Hibbs' cousin, Harold Pearson, who played on the winning side in the Cup Final, was selected to play for England against Scotland on 9 April 1932 in what would be his only full international appearance.

After over 389 games, his career with Birmingham came to an end a little while into the start of the Second World War.

1940

His testimonial came against cross-city rivals Aston Villa on 13 April 1940, in the first Wartime benefit game.

1944

In August 1944, Hibbs became manager of Walsall for seven years.

1946

The highlight of this period was the club's appearance in the 1946 Third Division (South) final, in front of 20,000, at Stamford Bridge against Bournemouth and by the team of Ron Crutchley, Doug Lishman, Reg Foulkes, "Nutty" Newman and goalkeeper Jackie Lewis.

1953

Hibbs went back to play in goal for Havillands F.C. between February 1953 and the following summer.

1960

He then left football altogether before coming back to carry out two managerial stints at Ware for the 1960–61 season and Welwyn Garden City for the 1962–63 season.

1984

Hibbs settled in Welwyn Garden City, where he died in April 1984 at the age of 77.
