KEN MALOY
Born: 16 September 1940
Came from: Ilford Went to: Peterborough United
First game: 02 November 1960 Last game: 07 December 1963
Appearances: 73 (73/0) Goals: 16
London-born Maloy played for Ilford before joining Argyle in 1959. A winger, 'Bugsy' had a fine goalscoring record for the reserves during his four years at Home Park, but could not hold down a consistent place in the first team. He was one of those classic footballing enigmas: fine wing-play one week and nothing would go right the next. After leaving Argyle he played for Peterborough United and Aldershot for a season apiece before spending 10 years in Belgium with Royal Racing White Molenbeek and Racing Jet de Bruxelles.

From John Lapthorn near Kingsbridge on 12/05/2014 ...
I can remember Ken 'Bugsy' Maloy playing with great ability, in an Argyle side that was always looking to attack. I do feel that there were times when his fellow team mates did not help, by passing the ball behind him, forcing him to halt his movement forward and therefore slowing up the momentum. The old touchline with its slope towards the centre was always going to be an advantage to a home player when the ball was played forward. For poor 'Bugsy' this did not always happen.
From John Hooper in Saltash, Cornwall on 09/04/2023 ...
I remember Ken as a player for Argyle. A gifted player and a good colleague when with Royal Mail.
Well done Ken.
John
