Brown attended Musselburgh Grammar School[2] and was signed from Midlothian boys by English football club Aston Villa in May 1969 following a recommendation by scout Peter Doherty.[3] He was Aston Villa's youngest ever player to play in a first team game at 15 years 349 days, a record which still stands to this day, playing at left-back. He signed professional in 1970. He played in 75 League matches for Villa scoring 1 goal. He also played in 12 Cup games. Brown won the FA Youth Cup with Villa in 1972 before being sold to Preston North End in October 1975.[4]
Brown left Preston in 1978, and signed for Greek club Ethnikos.[5] He returned to English football two years later with Portsmouth, and ended his senior career after a season with Scottish club Hibernian.
