He played 193 games for Norwich before the arrival ofIan Culverhouse displaced him from the side.He went on to play for Gillingham, where he was a crowd favourite (gaining the nickname "Pud" due to his slightly portly build) and a member of the side which reached the promotion play-offs in the 1986/87 season. In a League Cup match against Brighton, Gills
goalkeeper Phil Kite was sent off, and Haylock, despite being the shortest player in the team, took over in goal.
