Raised in Sutton, St Helens, Brown attended Cowley Secondary School, which also produced two other England internationals during the 1930s, cousins Dickie Guest and Jack Heaton.[1]
Brown made representative appearances for Lancashire early in his career, before moving down to Devon to work as a lecturer in physical training at St Luke's College, Exeter, from where he gained his solitary England cap.[2] He played as a wing-forward against Scotland at Twickenham in the 1938 Home Nations, deputising for an injured Reg Bolton.[3]
