An
inside forward, Myerscough began his professional career at the relatively late age of 24 when he joined
Walsall from
Ashfield in time for the
1954–55 season. He spent a season with the Saddlers before joining
Football League First Division side
Aston Villa, where he went on to make 64 league appearances over the next four years. The highlight though came in the
1957 FA Cup Final, when Villa denied
Manchester United a
First Division and
FA Cup double with a 2–1 victory. Unfortunately the following season ended in relegation and Myerscough spent a season with
Rotherham United before joining
Coventry City in July 1960. In March 1962, Myerscough joined
Chester, who were destined to finish bottom of the
Fourth Division. Myerscough made his debut alongside fellow new signing
Ron Hewitt in a 5–1 defeat at
York City on 3 March 1962 and ended the season with three goals from 13 games. He featured in half the league games the following season and then moved to
Wrexham in exchange for
Stan Bennion and
George Evans. After a season with Wrexham, Myerscough ended his professional career and joined non-league side
Macclesfield Town. He died in 1977. ==Honours==
