He played for Brentford for a decade, making more than 150 appearances, though like many players of his era, the Second World War shortened his career, though he represented Brentford in the non-competitive wartime competitions. but when competitive football resumed the 36 year old Poyser made three appearances for Plymouth Argyle, and then turned to management with Dover. However, his management career gained more recognition at Notts County, whom he managed between 1953 and 1957, reaching the FA Cup quarter-finals in 1955. Former Notts County winger Gordon Wills regards Poyser as the best manager he played for.
