Born in Bareilly in India, Pickett appeared in 26 games in the 1960/61 campaign in which Ipswich won the Second Division but on only three occasions the following year when Town won the Football League championship for the only time in their history. He then joined Stevenage in June 1963. He died in a nursing home in Rowlands Castle, Hampshire, on 4 November 2012, aged 85.
