Contents 1 Playing career 2 Coaching career 3 References 4 External links Playing career MacLaren began his career at local club Auchterarder before being signed to Dundee. He managed only one first team appearance for the team though, before heading to England in January 1957, where he would spend the rest of his playing career.[1] He joined Leicester City and immediately won promotion to the First Division as he became first choice, but he lost his place to the emerging Gordon Banks during the 1959–60 season. McLaren took this as his cue to depart and joined Second Division Plymouth Argyle at the end of the season.[2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlandlilywhite Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Very sad news. Great servant to both Argyle and Wolves, a fine keeper. I saw him play for both clubs, I was really chuffed when he joined Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
