Football career
[edit]In 1975, Haywood signed on schoolboy forms with Coventry City.[4] During the 1978–79 season, he was the top scorer for the Coventry City reserve team ahead of Mark Hateley, Garry Thompson and Gary Bannister.[4] The following season, he had 9 goals in 24 matches. And then, he was sent on a 3-month loan along with Steve Whitton to Seiko FC in Hong Kong.[4] After returning from Hong Kong, Haywood made his professional debut in England on 30 August 1980 against Aston Villa, but this turned out to be his only first team appearance.[4] In 1981, Haywood was sold to Washington Diplomats in the NASL where he played alongside Johan Cruyff.[4]
A year later, he was sold to Bulova SA in Hong Kong.[4] His teammates included Arsenal's Charlie George and Tommy Hutchison. He was the top scorer in the Hong Kong league for the 1982–83 season with 26 goals.[4] He returned to England in 1984 with Thanet United. He retired in 1986.[4]
