[edit] Playing style

Former teammate Roy Sproson said that he was: "one of the best full-backs in the country. He was quick, had a good left foot and was particularly good going forward" and also displayed an "attacking flair".^[2]

[edit] Playing career

An extremely versatile player, Hayward was comfortable playing anywhere across the back four and also up front. He joined Port Vale in May 1946, having recently turned 16. He made his debut on 12 October of that year, in a 4-0 home defeat by Cardiff City. He attained a regular first spot from December 1947, but fell out of favour again in August 1949. In the 1950-51 season he started to get more first team action, however was sidelined with a back injury in February 1952.^[3]

It was under Freddie Steele's management though that Hayward came into his own. With 22 goals in 1952–53 and 25 goals in 1953–54 he was the club's top scorer. The latter season was also one of the club's most successful seasons, as Vale were crowed Third Division (North) champions and reached the FA Cup semi-finals.^[3]

Ever-present during the 1956–57 campaign he was sold to Portsmouth for a 'fair fee' in July 1958.^[3] He spent two seasons with Pompey where he played a further 44 matches, and later played for Yeovil Town, at the time a non-league team.

[edit] Managerial career

Hayward managed Yeovil Town from 1960 until 1964. He then managed Bedford Town before he stepped up to management in the Football League, taking charge of Gillingham from 1966 until 1971.

After leaving the post at Gillingham he was appointed manager of Telford United before becoming the chief scout at Norwich City and then scout at Gillingham.^[3]
