Early Career and Move to Manchester United
Born in Prestwich, Lancashire, Aston began his football journey playing for local teams before signing for Manchester United in 1939. His career, like many players of his generation, was interrupted by World War II, which delayed his official debut for United until after the war.

Career at Manchester United (1939-1954)

He quickly established himself as a versatile and reliable defender who could play on both the right and left flanks of the defense. His calmness under pressure and positional awareness made him a vital part of Matt Busby's early United teams.

Post-Playing Career and Family Legacy
