Biographical Text

Trevor Granville made twenty league appearances for Exeter City between 1946 and 1948. He joined the club from Newport County and left to sign for Gillingham. 

Serving with the Royal Navy during the Second World War, Trevor played for Raith Rovers during the 1944/45 season and Cliftonville in 1945. Returning home to South Wales after the war, he made appearances for Newport County in the emergency competitions that took place during 1945/46.

With ‘normal’ football resuming in time for the 1946/47 season, Trevor was soon on the move to St James’ Park in October 1946, along with Newport teammate Bill Owen. Making his Exeter City debut at Reading on 26 October 1946, he went on to feature in 13 league games with most of his appearances coming in a block after Christmas. 

Ultimately appearing in just seven league games - none of which came after mid-February - Trevor was soon the subject of an enquiry from Yeovil Town. Opting to see out the season with Exeter, he moved to the then-Southern League Gillingham in the summer of 1948 before later moves to Gloucester City and Llanelli. 

Finishing his career with Chepstow Town, Trevor lived in Newport until his death in March 1993.
