Arsenal
Born in Douglas Water, Nelson played youth football with St Bernard's, before moving to England and signing for Division One club Arsenal for a £200 fee in May 1936. He made just 9 appearances before the Second World War broke out in September 1939, but had experienced some joy in the reserve team, winning the London Combination in 1936–37, 1937–38 and 1938–29. He made over 160 appearances for the Gunners during the war and made further competitive appearances during the 1945–46 and 1946–47 seasons, before leaving Highbury in December 1946. Nelson made 29 competitive appearances and scored four goals in over a decade with Arsenal.
