-==Career==
-Scotchbrook followed his father into football, playing for non-league sides Gymnasium and his hometown [[Horwich]], before joining [[Football League]] side [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]] in 1914. However, he failed to make the grade as a professional and soon retired from playing to become a coach for the club, and later assistant-secretary.
-He became manager of [[Stockport County F.C.|Stockport County]] in November 1924, where he narrowly saved them from relegation to the [[Football League Third Division|Third Division]]. The next campaign started badly though, as the team lose six of its opening seven fixtures, leading to Scotchbrook's dismissal in February 1926.
-He was appointed manager of [[Football League Second Division|Second Division]] side [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]] the next month, after the sudden departure of [[Albert Hoskins]]. He took the club to a 15th place finish in his only full season at [[Molineux Stadium|Molineux]], [[1926–27_in_English_football#Second_Division|1926–27]]. After a heated exchange with the board of directors during an [[Annual general meeting|AGM]] in June 1927, where he questioned their policies, he was relieved of his duties. He left football after this.
