Crawshaw was born in Padiham, Lancashire. He began his football career with local team Great Harwood, and had spells with Southport and Burnley, but without playing in the Football League.[4] He joined Accrington Stanley in 1933,[5] and played 19 games in the Third Division North[4] before moving to First Division club Birmingham in April 1934 for a fee of £600. The form of George Morrall and Tom Fillingham restricted Crawshaw's appearances to four, and he returned to non-league football in 1934.[5]
