Timeline
Joshua Walter Sloan (30 April 1920 – January 1993), commonly known as Paddy Sloan, was an Irish footballer and manager.
Sloan played with English clubs such as Manchester United, Millwall, Fulham and Arsenal.
He also featured for Italian sides Milan, Udinese, Torino and Brescia.
Sloan as well played with clubs
from Northern Ireland, Malta and Australia.
He was a dual Irish international footballer as he played for both the IFA XI and the FAI XI.
Born in Lurgan, County Armagh, Sloan played for local side Glenavon as a youth, but signed for Manchester United in September 1937 aged 17 years old.
He featured mainly in the 'A' Team helping them win the Manchester League title in 1938/39.
However, although he managed to break through into the Reserves on a handful of occasions, he failed to break into the United first team and on 24 May 1939, at the age of 19, he was transferred to Tranmere Rovers for a fee of £500.
During the Second World War, Sloan would return to United as a guest player.
After signing for Tranmere Rovers, Sloan made his debut for the club against Rotherham United on 26 August 1939.
However, shortly afterwards, the Second World War broke out and Sloan joined the RAF.
He was subsequently stationed in Canada, where he became a sergeant-pilot.
Throughout the war, Sloan remained a Tranmere Rovers player and between 1939 and 1946, he made 22 wartime league appearances and scored 15 goals for the club.
However, Sloan's RAF duties took him all over the country and during the course of the war, he made frequent guest appearances for other clubs.
He made one league appearance for Millwall during the 1942–43 season, before then guesting for Manchester United.
Between 1943 and 1945, he made three wartime league appearances and scored one goal for United.
The 1944–45 season saw him make 11 league appearances and score six goals for Fulham.
In May 1945, Sloan also played for United in both legs of the League North Cup final against Bolton Wanderers.
However, United lost the final 3–2 on aggregate.
During the same season, he also played regularly for Bath City and his 18 goals helped them win the League West Cup in 1945.
During the 1945–46 season, he made six league appearances and scored four goals for Brentford in the Football League South and then went to Germany on tour with the club.
This had been without the consent of his parent club, Tranmere Rovers.
At the end of the Second World War, Tranmere Rovers were expecting Sloan to return to them.
However, his wartime guest appearances had attracted the interest of several clubs including his former club Manchester United and Arsenal.
Sloan eventually left Tranmere and in May 1946 to sign for the Gunners without much ado.
This was so given the nonexistence of the rivalry between the two clubs at the time.
He made his league debut for Arsenal on 31 August in a 6–1 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
During the subsequent 1946–47 season, he made 27 league appearances and scored one goal, establishing himself as a regular in the Arsenal team.
He also played a further three games for the club in the FA Cup.
However, in the following season, 1947–48, Sloan lost his place to Archie Macaulay and he only made three league appearances as Arsenal went on to win the old First Division in 1947–48 without him.
He played his last game for Arsenal in a league game against Portsmouth on 4 October 1947.
In February 1948, Sloan left Arsenal and signed for Sheffield United.
After only a brief spell with Sheffield United, Sloan joined Milan for the 1948–49 season, and as a result he became the first Irish footballer to play in Serie A.
Playing in a team that also included Gunnar Nordahl and Albert Gudmundsson, Sloan went on to score nine goals during the season.
The first of these came on 24 October 1948, when he scored the third goal in 3–1 home win against Triestina.
On 5 June 1949, in the final game of season, he scored twice in a 3–2 win against Sampdoria.
His goals helped Milan finish the season in third place behind Torino and Internazionale.
During subsequent seasons, he played for Torino, Udinese and Brescia, before returning to England and signing for Norwich City in December 1951.
