Career
Hendry started his career with North Eastern Railway United, with whom he won the York and District League in the 1905–06 season.[1] He joined Middlesbrough as an amateur in 1907,[1] but failed to make any appearances in the league for the team.[2] He then moved to Darlington in 1908, where he played until joining Hull City in March 1910.[1] Here, he became one of the first York-born footballers to play in the Football League and was dubbed "the human octopus" because of his displays for the club.[1]
He made 140 league appearances for Hull,[2] 98 of which were consecutive.[1] He made 271 appearances in first-team and war football for Hull,[1] leaving the club in 1920,[2] after which he spent a season with Doncaster Rovers.[1] He joined York City in July 1922 for their first season in the Midland League and advised the club on team selection.[1] He left the club in 1924 after making 56 appearances in the Midland League for York and later became a trainer at LNER Permanent Way.[1]
