I'm curious to learn more about him. There's not a lot of detail on his Wikipedia and nothing on the club website about the man who is our all time record League appearance holder with 491 league appearances, and 515 appearances for Blues in total. In all his career appearances he never scored a single goal, which I think in itself is a record for an outfield player.

He played for Blues for 20 years, and captained the club for 16.
There's a Birmingham Mail article from 11 years ago which talks about the time a gangster tried to get him to throw a Blues vs Grimsby match.

He appears to be fondly remembered at both Grimsby and Leicester as a manager for getting them both promoted to the 1st Division, and with Grimsby finishing 5th in the 1st division and reaching an FA Cup semi final.
I know we have a few posters on here who are well versed in Blues history. Is anyone able to share some more information on one of the club's longest serving players? (I think Gil Merrick technically had 21 years to Womack's 20 but when you take out their respective inter war periods 1915-1919 and 1939-1945 then I believe Womack pips Merrick for years spent in the Football League with Blues).
