He was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.cite web | url=http://www.chesterfield-fc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/PastPlayersDetail/0,,10435~539499,00.html | title=Chesterfield History: Horace Wass | accessdate=2007-04-28 | publisher=Chesterfield F.C. official website]

Football

Wass made over 400 Football League appearances, the great bulk of them for Chesterfield. He started with them in 1920 as an amateur, turning professional two years later, and remained with the club until the end of the 1936-37 season. He then moved to Southport, for whom he played 20 league games. He had a trial at Gainsborough Trinity in 1938 and played for Chelmsford City in the Southern Football League.

Cricket

Wass was a right-handed batsman who played one match for Derbyshire against Glamorgan during the 1929 season, in which the Welsh club finished bottom of the County Championship. Though he was not to appear again for Derbyshire, he became a leading light in the days of pre-war Scottish cricket, making his first appearances during 1935, and further appearances against teams assembled by Sir Julien Cahn between 1935 and 1937. He appeared for Scotland eight times in total: twice against the South Africans, once against the Australians and five times against Sir Julien Cahn's XI. These games did not have first-class status.
