Alf joined Millwall in May 1922, after playing as an amateur with
Kingstonian and for Brentford when they joined the
Third Division in 1920. He appeared in 75 Football
League matches for the Bees, scoring four goals.
Amos played in nine of the 11 matches in 1926, when
Millwall created a Football league record for the most
consecutive matches without conceding a goal. He was
equally at home in the right- or left-half position, stout in
defence, a vigorous tackler and a man who supported |
his forwards well with his clever footwork and accurate passing.

He missed a penalty at Crystal Palace in the last game of the 1926-27
season, when the Lions won 6-1 to chalk up their record away Football
League win. A year later, he won a Third Division (South) Championship
medal and a London Challenge Cup winners' medal. Amos reverted to
right-half when Len Graham came in at left-half. |
After eight years at The Den, Amos left to become player-coach of Hitchin
Town. On 25th October 1921 he represented the F.A against the Royal
Navy & Royal Marines X1. Alf passed away in Dunstable on 9th March
1964.
