He made 352 senior appearances for Forest[3] before transferring to Sheffield Wednesday in 1970.[4]

During his time with Wednesday he made 130 senior appearances, and missed just one game during the 1970-71 season.[4] In April 1973 he played his last game for Wednesday [4] before joining Brighton and Hove Albion, then managed by Brian Clough, on loan after Brighton had been beaten 8-2 by Bristol Rovers in front of the TV cameras.[5] Despite losing 4–1 on his debut against Tranmere Rovers Grummitt made over 100 league appearances for the Seagulls before joining Worthing F.C.[2]
