Albert Hammond played twice for Exeter City when ‘official’ football resumed in 1946.  He joined the club from Brentford and later played for Hastings United.

On the books of Queens Park Rangers as an amateur at the end of the Second World War, Albert became a professional with Brentford in January 1946.

Never making a league appearance for the Bees, whilst also working as a commercial traveller, Albert moved to Exeter City in June 1946 and made his debut in the third match of the season at Port Vale. Retaining his place for the following week’s home game against Bristol City, he made no further first-team appearances for the Grecians and left the club to sign for Hastings United in the summer of 1947.

Much later finishing his career with Hanwell Town, Albert was to die in Gravesend in 1989.
