Career
Ette started his career with Northampton Nomads before signing for West Ham in 1934. He had signed for West Ham following a personal request by Charlie Paynter to turn out in a match against Preston North End. This game was on 3 February 1934 and although he scored a goal, it turned out to be Ette's only game for The Hammers.[1] Mysteriously he was never picked again but later appeared playing for London League Park Royal and captained a team which defeated Swindon Town in the 1935-36 FA Cup. The onset of arthritis finished his footballing career and left Ette disabled in later life.[2]
