Playing career
Holland enjoyed a promising start to his football career by being selected to play for England Schoolboys and England Youth while twice winning the FA Youth Cup with Manchester United. Despite captaining the club's reserve side, Holland was to never make a league appearance at Old Trafford although he was an unused substitute on three occasions.
In March 1960 he moved to Wrexham for £2,000, going on to spend six years with the North Wales side before joining local rivals Chester in March 1966. After six league appearances he dropped into Non-League football with Altrincham. He joined Staffordshire Police and spent 27 years with the force before retiring in 1994.
