Career

Boot joined Arsenal in 1963, turned professional in December 1964, and made his senior debut in October 1966.[2] Boot made his debut on 5 October 1966 in a league cup defeat to West Ham United.[3] Boot's first goal for Arsenal came only three days later against Newcastle United in a 2-0 league victory at Highbury.[4] Boot's final appearance in an Arsenal shirt occurred on 5 November 1966 when he replaced Jon Sammels during Arsenal's 1–0 defeat against Leeds United at Highbury.[5] Over the course of the season, Boot scored 2 goals in 4 appearances in the Football League.[6]

After a spell in South Africa with Port Elizabeth City, where he helped the club win the National Football League title, Boot played English non-league football with Nuneaton Borough of the Southern Football League Premier Division,[7] Kidderminster Harriers of the West Midlands (Regional) League,[8] and AP Leamington, where he was ever-present as the team were promoted to the Southern League Premier Division in 1975–76.[9] He later moved to Australia, where he played for Townsville, Mareeba and Phoenix before taking up coaching.[2]
