Raleigh's clubs included Huddersfield Town, Hull City and Gillingham. While playing for Gillingham in a match against Brighton & Hove Albion on 1 December 1934, he was injured in a clash of heads with an opponent, and continued to play but collapsed later in the game and died in hospital that night. The club raised over £250 (equivalent to £20,000 in 2025) for his widow and young son.[2]
