Known as "Vic" by West Ham fans, he was signed by manager, Charlie Paynter. His debut came on 31 August 1935 in a 4–3 away defeat to Norwich City.[2] 'Keeper Herman Conway arrived later that season making Blore second-choice and with the arrival of Jack Weare from Wolverhampton Wanderers he became third choice 'keeper. In 1936, Crystal Palace offered him regular first team football. He played for Palace until October 1938, when he signed for Exeter City.[5][6]
