Booton was born in Annesley, Nottinghamshire. He began his football career with Annesley Colliery and Shirebrook, and joined Birmingham in 1929. He became a first-team regular for Birmingham after George Liddell retired, and made 162 appearances in all competitions, including 149 in the First Division. He was a solid tackler and kicked powerfully, but his distribution of the ball was wayward.[2] He later played 7 league games for Luton Town, and then moved into non-league football with Atherstone Town.[1] He died in Denham, Buckinghamshire, in 1976 at the age of 70.[2]
