Description
Southall, Middlesex born inside left Albert Thain started his football career with local junior club Southall in 1920, playing for Metropolitan Railway in 1921 before joining First Division club Chelsea in 1922, for whom he made his Football League debut at Oldham Athletic in September 1922. After three seasons as a fringe player, during which time Chelsea were relegated to the Second Division, he established his place in the Chelsea first team in August 1925, scoring 16 goals in 1925-26 and 19 goals in 1926-27 as Chelsea had a series of top four finishes without gaining promotion.
