Career
Born in Camelon, Corbett played for Old Plean Amateurs, Linlithgow Rose, Heart of Midlothian, Camelon Juniors, Ayr United,[3] Dundee United, West Ham United, Southport, Dumbarton and St Mirren.[4][5]
Corbett joined Dundee United on trial at the beginning of the 1933–34 season, playing the first two matches as a trialist prior to signing for the club. He went to feature as an ever-present for United up until suffering a serious injury in November 1935, although he returned to the side two months later. Despite the club retaining his registration in the close season of 1936, he didn't appear in the United team again and was transferred to West Ham that October. He would later return to Dundee United for one Southern League match in October 1945.[6]
Personal life
Corbett had two younger brothers who were both professional footballers – Norman and Willie.[2][7]
