He went to Slough Grammar School and played for the team there. After he left school, Dennis was a clerk at ICI for a while before doing his National Service in the R.A.F. at Compton Bassett, near Carn, Wiltshire.

He played football for his unit during the week and each weekend travels to Slough to play for the Town.
