Capel lost the best years of his career to WWII and joined Chesterfield soon after the hostilities. The dashing inside-forward was a regular scorer and played his best football at Nottingham Forest scoring 72 goals in five seasons including 23 in Forest’s Second Division promotion campaign of 1950-51. City boss Jack Fairbrother pulled off a major coup signing Capel and his Forest colleague Collindridge in 1954. He had one good season for City before Jesse Carver sold him to Halifax. His career ended in non-league with Heanor and he later lived in Nottigham.
