A centre-half, he played for Swansea City, Middlesbrough and Swindon Town. ==Playing career== Nurse joined Swansea City, his hometown club, from Manselton Secondary Modern school, at a time when he had already won Schoolboy caps for Wales. At over tall, he quickly made it to Swansea's first team and into the national under-23 side. Shortly after the Munich air disaster, Manchester United offered a fee of £35,000 for him, but Swansea turned the offer down. Two years later, Middlesbrough came along, and their offer of £25,000, a club record fee, was accepted. Nurse wanted to remain in Wales, but the club made it clear he had no future there if he refused to move. After signing for Middlesbrough on a wage of £25 a week, he made his debut against Grimsby Town in a 4–3 victory. Within a week of joining, he was made captain. In 1965, Nurse became unsettled after the appointment of new manager Raich Carter and, with his wife homesick, Middlesbrough placed him on the transfer list. He moved back to the West Country, joining Swindon Town.
