Harper was born in Oldham and raised in Glasgow’s Possil park area, attending St. Theresa’s Primary and St. Augustine’s Secondary School. Harper played for youth club Hutchison Vale in Edinburgh before he was signed by Hibernian and made his professional debut aged just 17. As someone of black skin colour, Harper was in a small minority within Scottish football. He was unhappy that having claimed Gary Mackay had racially abused him during an Edinburgh derby game in November 1996, the SFA did not take action in response to his complaint. Derby County manager Jim Smith signed Harper for £300,000 in September 1998. Despite clear potential, Harper failed to impress at Derby, scoring just two goals against Liverpool in the league and Swansea City in the FA Cup. He was loaned out to Walsall in December 1999 for the remainder of the season.
His spell at Walsall was cut short when Portsmouth made an offer of £300,000 for his services in March 2000. Harper moved to Fratton Park having started only seven games for Derby. The Scottish under-21 international soon settled into the team at Portsmouth, but missed much of the 2000–01 season with a shin splints problem. In 2001–02 he faced the brunt of fan frustration after a disappointing season, finishing the campaign with the dubious honour of having been sent off (twice) more times than he scored (once). However, he was a crucial member of the side that won the First Division title in 2002–03, and his excellent performances down either wing for Portsmouth earned him two monthly ‘Swan d’Or’ awards from the Norwegian Press Club and a place in the full Scotland squad.
Despite his impressive part in Portsmouth’s promotion, Harper was loaned out to Norwich in September 2003. His loan spell at Carrow Road was initially for one month but was extended to three months. He played well at Norwich, but was also sent off for a two-footed tackle on an opposing player in a match against Derby County. On his return to Fratton Park he made only nine appearances for Portsmouth in the 2003–04 season. After failing to regain his place at the start of the 2004–05 season he was loaned toLeicester City.
In January 2005 was sold to Stoke City. Despite starting his Stoke career impressively, Harper was dogged by injuries that prevented him challenging for a first team place. He scored once for Stoke, in a 3–1 win over Norwich City. Harper was loaned to Carlisle United in October 2006 and then Walsall, whom he had played for on loan earlier in his career. He was released by Stoke manager Tony Pulis in May 2007.
On 7 July 2007, Harper opted to join Dunfermline Athletic, of the Scottish First Division. He scored the winning goal against Stirling Albion on 25 August 2007 and played in Dunfermline’s UEFA Cup matches at home 16 August and away 30 August against BK Hacken FC of Sweden. Harper’s season was rather inconsistent, though on 25 March 2008, he scored a hat-trick in the re-arranged fixture against First Division strugglers Stirling Albion, whom he had scored his only other goal of the season against a few months earlier.

Kevin Harper on his past and building a football academy.

(an interview by Aidan Smith 26th October 2013 in The Scotsman)

The former Hibs striker recalls a career forged from the toughest of beginnings

Kevin Harper is describing a typical day in his young life that will resonate with any parent wondering why people keep talking about football losing its grip on the nation. “I’d rush to school early so I could play,” he says, “then play at morning break, lunchtime, back at home after a jam piece – then after my dinner which would be wolfed down in three minutes flat I’d be back out there for one more game. Football was everything to me.”

You kind of understand why when the ex-Hibs striker and veteran of some lusty Edinburgh derbies reveals the in-home leisure options capable of distracting him from football. “We had a Betamax video-player, given to us by Aunt Roseanne when she got VHS. But the Betamax shelf down the local shop had only two movies: ET and The Ten Commandments. When Aunt Roseanne upgraded to a better VHS we got her old machine.”

He’s telling his story over a skinny latte. It’s a sign of progress, I suppose, that Gartcosh, North Lanarkshire where he now lives has a Costa Coffee. Back in the 1980s, Glasgow’s Possilpark couldn’t quite provide a safe place to play. “It was the toughest estate in Scotland, lots of drugs, junkies staggering about, needles on the ground. There was a piece of grass we called the Bowling Green which must have been ironic because it was all these wee mounds but that wasn’t close. The Pitch was nearer but that was just a square of concrete. So mostly we played in the road.”

Now 37, Harper looks fit enough to still be playing and wouldn’t say no if asked, but his main concern right now is the football academy he’s trying to build, hence the reminiscing about his own highly unpromising beginnings in the game. The hope is that the Kevin Harper Football School of Excellence will benefit disadvantaged kids. He wants, he says, to “give something back”. This sounds a bit strange because, at first, football gave him nothing. The facilities locally were obviously shocking. And there was the fact he was black which even more shockingly was an issue for some. Racist abuse happened in almost every boys’ club game and, sadly, continued sporadically at professional level.

But he did encounter good people in football who tried to help him. He had opportunities, took some, but knows he could have achieved greater things in his career. He got angry, sometimes of course with very good cause. But there was a marriage which ended badly and a business venture which went wrong. Looking back – and Harper has been doing a lot of soul-searching recently – he’s grateful to football. Very possibly there’s some guilt involved in his desire to make a positive contribution. “I’m Kevin Harper, warts and all,” he says more than once.

“You had to watch out for the man, for cars and for wee wi

fies – and for funny bounces.” This was Stonyhurst Street where he lived, since pulled down. Street-football is sometimes over-romanticised, but he admits the hazards improved his skills. There was only one other black kid on the estate: “Scott Rose, my friend to this day, he became a joiner.” Others weren’t so friendly. “I got called a ‘wee black bastard’ a lot. There were fisticuffs right through my younger days.” But, despite all of this he defends Possilpark. “It had a really bad rep. Folk would say: ‘No way would I drive my car there. If I had to stop I’d get my wheels taken off.’ But it could still show itself to be a close-knit place and it made me streetwise and taught me about life. No, I wouldn’t change where I grew up.”

Racism has hit football again with Yaya Toure warning of a black-player boycott of the 2018 Russia World Cup following Manchester City’s match in Moscow this week where he alleges he was subjected to monkey chants. Harper, when he graduated to red-ash pitches and juvenile matches, says the taunts he suffered were “constant; they beat me down”. His coach at the West Park club in Bishopbriggs, Bert Rowan, was one of those who helped him. “He changed me from being an angry wee boy, got me to stop reacting with my fists, beat the bullies with football.”

Playing for Hibs in a 1996 derby when he was Scotland’s leading black footballer, Harper claimed he was racially abused by Gary Mackay. Then the Jambos’ captain, Mackay has always denied the allegation; Harper says that even now he could find YouTube footage on his phone to support it.

The pair have never discussed the incident, he says, but whatever happened that afternoon, there was no official investigation, which only added to his sense of grievance. He accepts that racism is treated more seriously now, that efforts are being made to combat it, but two decades on from his breakthrough is surprised and not a little dismayed that the greater ethnic mix on Scotland’s streets isn’t matched by more homegrown black and Asian players featuring with our top clubs.

Harper’s talent – explosive pace and shooting, and not bad in the air for one who only ever grew to “5ft 6ins … and a bit” – was spotted at 12 by Alex Miller while the Hibs manager’s sons were playing on a neighbouring Paisley pitch. “Bert Rowan told me; I was thrilled. I know that Alex wasn’t to everyone’s liking but I’ll never forget that he gave me my chance. And Bert was great for me too. He knew money was tight for my family but he made sure I didn’t miss any tournaments and gave me a lift to every game.”

Back when he was playing, Harper’s mother Kathleen and his Catholic faith were invariably mentioned; he’d been an altar boy at St Theresa’s church. What of his father? You can find stories about the dad being an alcoholic, and how when Harper turned professional at 16, the lad and his mum had to ask him to leave the house. Actually, it was a bit more dramatic than that. “His drinking just brought misery. He wasn’t an angry drunk but my mother couldn’t cope anymore. My big brother and sister had left so it fell to me. Most boys I guess will have had to do this at some stage: I asked my dad out the back. We had a scrap and I ended up breaking his ribs. I told him he had to go and to be fair to him he did.”

How did Harper feel; after all, this was his father? “Well, he wasn’t my biological father. No one really knows this. His name was Gerry and he gave me the name Harper but he came into my mother’s life after my brother and sister who’re called Fisher and after I was born in Oldham. It’s a complicated story. Gerry didn’t really take much interest in my football but I was sad when he died. I was playing for Portsmouth when I found out he’d got cancer and I came back up the road to see him. He passed away a few months later.”

And then the tale gets even more fraught. As far as he knows, Harper’s real father was Frank Coleman who died before he was born. But this is all he knows. “I’ve tried asking my mother about him but she won’t tell me. We’ve fallen out and are no longer speaking. It’s sad but I want to know the truth, even if it’s not got a happy ending. This’ll sound daft but my life is like a doughnut; there’s this hole in the middle. We all reach this stage, don’t we? We want to know where we’re from. I also want to know for the sake of my kids. They’re starting to ask questions. ‘Dad, why are you this colour? Why are we?’”

Kathleen still lives in Possilpark. She used to clean St Theresa’s to keep Harper in football boots. But now he’s fallen out with the church as well. “At times my faith has helped me. At Portsmouth, for instance, when I was having a bad time with my ex, I’d just become a father and my best friend, Andrew Dolan, had died of a heart attack at 34. I wasn’t strong enough back then; in fact I was pretty weak. But I also think the church brainwashed me. The questions I’m asking now are different ones, and I’m trying to answer them myself.”

Harper needs another coffee. He says it’s easy for him to talk about football, less so “real stuff”, but he’s doing an okay job. Back to football, though, and Hibs. The 90s were a manic era down Easter Road way, featuring a near-death experience, a cup triumph, Chic Charnley, managers arriving by helicopter and leaving with the tailfin between their legs –and relegation. Harper missed Wallace Mercer’s failed takeover bid and the Skol Cup triumph. With Hibs and Hearts about to clash in the League Cup, though, he does have fond memories of playing on the right wing in derbies and of that harum scarum period in the Hibees’ history.

“I think Hibs back then were underrated but it’s also true we should have achieved more. I played with Darren Jackson, Keith Wright, Mickey Weir, Michael O’Neill and Kevin McAllister – and yet some folk reckon we were dour and defensive! My first derby was a famous one – the 1-0 win at Tynecastle [’94] which ended Hearts’ incredible [22-game] unbeaten sequence. In the lead-up, all you heard was ‘Robbo this, Robbo that’ [John Robertson, Hibee Nemesis]. It was a nervous dressing-room but diehards like Gordon Hunter were hammering it into the rest of the team how the run simply had to end. And of course Geebsie scored the winner.”

Harper netted in two Easter Road victories in successive seasons, the second of them when the portents had been grim indeed. “It was the New Year’s Day game [’96] two days after we’d lost 7-0 at Ibrox. Neil Pointon scored for Hearts in the eighth minute, they missed a great chance for a second and Jim Leighton made a great save. I think we all wondered: ‘Uh-oh, what’s the score going to be here?’ But Michael O’Neill got a great equaliser and then crossed for me to volley home. I can still see the ball zipping into the net.”

In the New Year fixture two seasons later Harper was credited with helping save the job of manager Jim Duffy (the copter guy) when he created both goals in a 2-2 fightback after a drubbing seemed possible. Four months later, what was maybe his best strike in green-and-white after a run from halfway, beat Hearts but couldn’t save Hibs, then managed by Alex McLeish, from the drop. Big Eck wasn’t Harper’s boss for very long but there was still time for “many clashes” between the pair before Derby County paid £300,000 for him.

So began an English sojourn with eight stopovers including being loaned out twice to Walsall and spells with the topical managers Tony Pulis (newly taken over at Crystal Palace) and Harry Redknapp (football’s most controversial memoir until you-know-who this week). Harper wasn’t always happy down there; indeed Derby was downright miserable. Four months in a hotel, watching Ferraris swish into the club car park, he thought he wasn’t worthy. He helped the Rams beat Liverpool but was unaware of the significance of the Kop, the end where he’d scored. But he did eventually get himself a Lotus.

At Portsmouth he played a whole season with a double hernia. “Every time my name was announced the crowd would boo, but Harry Redknapp kept picking me. We won promotion and our goalie Alan Knight wrote in his book that no one had ever managed to win the Pompey fans round before.” He also collected league medals with Walsall and Norwich but these were all outwith the top flight and back home Harper became something of a forgotten man. Although he once scored a perfect hat-trick for our Under-21s, there was no full cap and with it the honour of being the first black player of the modern era to represent Scotland. He wondered if the row with Gary Mackay had harmed his chances. He wondered if manager Craig Brown even knew where Portsmouth was, or whether it was too far to come and watch. And, being Kevin, he wondered these thoughts out loud and sometimes angrily.

Then a lively career featuring the odd blazing goal but not enough of them, high promise largely unfulfilled, ended in the most mundane way. “I was in Spain. I was looking in a shop window. I tried to turn to the right and that was it, the cartilage in my knee had snapped.” For four years, Harper forgot about football. “I couldn’t deal with the fact I was finished. I stopped caring about it.” But, in this re-evaluation of his life, during which he’s fallen in love with an old friend, beauty therapist Helaine, he’s rediscovered something of the boy who would only ever stop kicking a ball for a slice of bread and jam and never for The Ten Commandments. “Football’s a fantastic game,” he says. “That’s why I’m trying to set up this school, which I hope will help kids who probably don’t think they stand a chance, because that was me once. I know I could have achieved more. I know that out on the pitch it probably didn’t look like I was enjoying myself. But I realise now I was incredibly lucky to be a footballer and I’m very grateful.”

Thomas Godfrey (15 January 1904 – 1983) was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Stoke City, Swindon Town and Walsall.
Godfrey began his career with his local club Stenhousemuir before joining English club Stoke City in 1927. He was very much used as a back up player by Tom Mather during this three years at the Victoria Ground making only 10 appearances. He then spent the 1930–31 with Walsall playing 42 times scoring twice. Two poor seasons with Swindon Town followed as the “Robins” failed to make much of an impression in the Third Division South and Godfrey went on to play non-league football with Folkestone and Worcester City.

Walsall player 301. Graham Anthony Fenton


Graham Anthony Fenton (born 22 May 1974 in Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear) is an English former professional footballer and manager of North Shields.
As a player he played as a midfielder, notably played in the Premier League for Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers and Leicester City, as well as in the Football League for West Bromwich Albion, Walsall, Stoke City, Blackpool and Darlington. He also spent a year in Scotland with St. Mirren before later playing for Non-league Blyth Spartans. He was also capped once by England at under-21 level. He took over as manager of North Shields on 6 April 2012.
Fenton joined Aston Villa as a trainee in June 1990, turning professional in February 1992. He was loaned out to West Bromwich Albion in January 1994, making his league debut against Leicester City in the same month. His loan spell at Albion was very successful, producing three goals in seven games and contributing to Albion’s eventual survival in Division One, leaving many Albion fans “bitterly disappointed” when he did not sign permanently. He instead returned to Villa, making his club debut in a 0–0Premiership draw at home to Manchester City on 22 February 1994. In March 1994 he played in Villa’sLeague Cup winning side, playing all of the 3–1 victory against Manchester United at Wembley. Fenton made his only appearance for the England Under-21s on 15 November 1994 in a 1–0 win against Ireland U-21s at St James’ Park; the team included several future full internationals, including Sol Campbell and Nicky Butt.
In November 1995, having never claimed a regular place in the Villa first team, Fenton made a £1,500,000 move to reigning Premiership champions Blackburn, but with Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton in rich goal scoring form his first team opportunities were limited. He scored seven times for Blackburn, including two as a late substitute against Newcastle United, the team Fenton has supported since childhood, in April 1996 which effectively ended Newcastle’s title challenge.
In August 1997 he moved to Martin O’Neill’s Leicester City for a fee of £1,100,000. He scored on his Leicester debut, having replaced Ian Marshall as a late substitute in the 2–1 win away to Liverpool, but again struggled to establish himself, making only 34 league appearances (21 as substitute) over three seasons.
He joined Walsall on loan in March 2000, scoring once against Port Vale, and had an unsuccessful trial with Barnsley in July 2000. In August 2000 he joined Stoke City on a monthly contract, scoring once against Reading, and at the end of the following month signed for St Mirren on a two-year contract.
In August 2001 Fenton joined Blackpool on a free transfer, but once more struggled to establish himself in the first team. He had a spell on loan with Darlington between September and December 2002, scoring once against Bournemouth, and was one of nine players released by Blackpool manager Steve McMahon in May 2003.
In July 2003 Fenton returned to the North East of England, joining Blyth Spartans. Blyth manager Paul Baker appointed Fenton as player-assistant manager in July 2004. Fenton took over as caretaker-manager of Blyth when Baker left that September, returning to his player-assistant manager role in October 2004 after the appointment of Harry Dunn as manager. In the 2005–06 season he was part of the Spartans’ side that gained promotion to the Conference North by winning the Northern Premier League. He was assistant manager and player at North Shields F.C. from April 2012.
Graham took over as manager of former Amateur Cup Winners North Shields in April 2012 after previous manager Anthony Woodhouse resigned. Graham took over with 4 games remaining with the club missing out on promotion from a strong position for the second consecutive season. Two years later, he led Shields to winning theNorthern League Division Two title and promotion to Division One.

Eyres was associated with Stoke for a period of seven years without really establishing himself in the first team. He had spells with Nantwich Town and Witton Albion before joining Stoke in 1922. His best season in red and white came in 1926–27 which saw Eyres score 12 goals helping Stoke win the Football League Third Division North title. After scoring on average a goal every three games for the “Potters” he was transferred to Walsall in 1929 for a small fee. He did well for the “Saddlers” scoring 37 goals in 89 matches in two seasons. He then spent a season at Brighton & Hove Albion, two at Bristol Rovers and ended his career with York City and non-league Gainsborough Trinity.

Walsall player 278. Anthony “Tony” Dinning


Anthony “Tony” Dinning (born 12 April 1975) is an English former football midfielder. He spent sixteen years of an eighteen-year career in the Football League, making 515 appearances in league and cup.
A former Newcastle United trainee, he made his name at Stockport County between 1994 and 2000, helping the club to win promotion, he played 219 games in league and cup. Following a £700,000 move to Wolverhampton Wanderers, he was sold on to Wigan Athleticfor £750,000 in 2001. Helping Wigan to promotion, he also enjoyed loan spells out to Stoke City (who he also helped to win promotion), Walsall, Blackpool, and Ipswich Town, before he signed with Bristol City in 2004. He moved on to Port Vale the following year, taking up the captain’s armband. He then returned to Stockport for one season, before signing with Chester City in 2007. In 2009 he was loaned out to Grays Athletic and Gateshead, before dropping out of the Football League permanently after signing with Stafford Rangers via Hednesford Town. He retired in 2011, after a spell with Bridgnorth Town.
Dinning began his career at Newcastle United in 1993. During his time at the club he was loaned out to the Swedish team Djurgården in a player exchange program, where his first game ended in him producing an own goal. Dinning failed to make an appearance for Newcastle before being released. Following his release he joined Stockport County in June 1994. He played twenty league games in County’s Second Division promotion-winning1996–97 campaign. He cemented his place in the Edgeley Park first eleven throughout their subsequent First Division campaigns, culminating in him picking up the player of the season award for the 1999–2000 season, in what turned out to be his final season with the club. He played a total of 219 games for the club and scored 28 goals, 13 of which came in the 1999–2000 season.
In September 2000, he moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers for £700,000. However, he remained with the club for less than a year; ironically, it was his former Stockport manager Dave Jones who decided he had no future at Wolves and sold him to Paul Jewell’s Wigan Athletic for £750,000.
Finding his form at Wigan, he was still soon loaned out to fellow Second Division side Stoke City for the closing months of the 2001–02 campaign, where he played in their play-off final triumph over Brentford. He returned to his parent club the following season, and played 44 games, helping them to win promotion as champions. However, he found himself out of favour in Wigan’s subsequent second tier seasons, leading to loan spells at Walsall, Blackpool (who he captained) Ipswich Town, and finally, Bristol City, whom he eventually joined on a free transfer.
With just twenty appearances, his time with Bristol City proved short-lived, and he moved to Port Vale on loan at the end of the 2004–05 season, signing permanently the following summer. He played 41 games in the 2005–06 campaign, also taking up the captain’s armband. In May 2006, he agreed a deal to re-join former club Stockport County. Manager Jim Gannon described Dinning as a “born leader”, and utilized him in 32 league games.
In August 2007, Dinning had his contract with Stockport cancelled by mutual agreement, due to lack of first-team opportunities. After a month spent training with Chester City, he finally joined on 5 October 2007. He made his debut two days later in a 3–1 win over Shrewsbury Town and scored his first goal for the club from the penalty spot in Chester’s 1–0 win at Lincoln City the following month. Later in the season Dinning and teammate, Paul Butler, became embroiled in a dispute with the club and manager Simon Davies, but they remained at the club into 2008–09. However, Dinning was restricted to just two appearances in the opening half of the campaign, including a sending off shortly after coming on in a 1–0 defeat at Bournemouth. He was allowed to join Scottish Premier League side Inverness Caledonian Thistle on trial in January 2009. He joined Conference National outfit, Grays Athletic on loan on 24 February 2009. On 26 March 2009, Dinning joined Conference North sideGateshead on loan until the end of the season.
After being released by Chester in May 2009, he joined Hednesford Town in the Southern Football League Premier Division, but soon left for Conference North club Stafford Rangers after Hednesford manager Dean Edwards left the club. He got into a car accident in December, and was sidelined for a few weeks due to a whiplash injury he sustained. Captaining the side for a handful of games when Nick Wellecomme was absent, he fell out of favour by the end of the season, after missing a penalty in an “embarrassing” ten men defeat to ten-man Ilkeston. Dinning left the club in the summer after falling out with manager Mark Wright.
In July 2010, he joined Midland Football Alliance club Bridgnorth Town as a player-coach, working under Lee Mills. Making thirteen appearances for Bridgnorth, at the end of their first season the pair quit the club, citing a wish to move on to a new challenge.

Andrew John Davies (born 17 December 1984) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Bradford City. He has been capped for England at Under-21 level.

Andrew Davies1
Davies was born in Stockton-on-Tees and went to Northfield School in Billingham near Middlesbrough. He joined Middlesbrough as a thirteen-year-old and moved up the ranks of the club, achieving a place in the reserve side. He signed professional terms with October 2002 after impressing in the Under-19s and as captain of the reserve team. He made his debut on 6 November 2002, in a League Cup defeat against Ipswich Town. His Barclaycard Premiership debut came three months later in a 5–2 defeat at home to Aston Villa.
He made nine further appearances during the 2003–04 season before suffering a broken leg in a reserve league game in March 2004. He made two appearances in the first half of the 2004–05 season before joining Queens Park Rangers on an initial one month’s loan in January to gain some first team experience, eventually remaining there for three months. In July 2005 he was loaned out again, to Derby County.
This was initially for a period of six months, although it was later extended to a full season’s loan. However, an injury crisis at Middlesbrough prompted them to recall Davies in January 2006. Davies had generally impressed during his time at Derby, despite being sent off on three occasions. On his return to the Riverside he played a significant role in Middlesbrough’s journey to the semi finals of the FA Cup and final of the UEFA Cup. With Gareth Southgate committing to youth in 2006–07, Davies found his way into the first team and made 23 appearances in all.
Davies signed for Southampton on 9 October 2007 on an initial 3-month loan with a view to a permanent transfer in January. On 10 January 2008 the signing was made permanent, for an undisclosed fee.
He missed the last few matches of the 2007–08 season as a result of a fractured cheek bone incurred in March 2008. Despite only playing for half a season, he was voted the Saints “player of the season”.
On 19 August 2008 he signed for newly promoted Stoke City for an undisclosed fee, signing a four-year contract. Davies did not feature until the beginning of December 2008 when he made several appearances on the bench with his first being an away game against Newcastle. Davies made his Stoke City debut against Manchester United, coming on as a substitute for Rory Delap in the 72nd minute on Boxing Day 2008. Davies was filling in at right back after Andy Wilkinson had been sent off for a second bookable offence. He made another substitute appearance on 28 December 2008 against West Ham Davies made his first Stoke City start against Hartlepool in the F.A Cup third Round which ended in a shock 2–0 victory for the League One Side. Davies sustained an injury in the 71st minute when he fell into the Hartlepool dugout. Davies played no further part in Stoke’s 2008–09 campaign.
On 13 February 2009 Davies signed for Preston North End on a one month emergency loan.[3] Having failed to make the bench for Stoke at the start of the 2009–10 season Davies joined Sheffield United on a three-month loan in September 2009, making his debut in the Steel City derby. With his loan expiring in December Davies returned to Stoke having played eight times for The Blades. After being left out of Stoke’s 25-man squad, Davies joined Walsall for an initial months loan on 6 October 2010.
On 18 February, he re-joined Boro on loan for the rest of the 2010–11 season and made his debut against in a 3–2 victory at Millwall the same day.
On 3 August 2011 Davies joined Crystal Palace on a one-month loan deal, but only made one league appearance for the Eagles before returning to Stoke.
He signed for Bradford City on a three-month loan on 23 September 2011. He was sent off on both his debut and second game for Bradford, following a three-game suspension, prompting a further four-game ban. In December 2011 Davies agreed to extend his loan until the end of the season. He scored his first goal for the club with a curling free kick on 21 January 2012, in a 1–1 draw at home to Burton Albion. He appeared to score his second goal for the club against Bristol Rovers, however the goal was eventually credited to team mate David Syers. His second goal of 2012 came in the 5th minute of injury time against Port Vale in a 1 – 1 draw on 14 February. Davies was sent off for a third time in the 2011/2012 season following a post-match brawl against Crawley Town. He received a 5 match ban and was one of 5 players to receive red cards following the brawl. On 24 May 2012 Bradford announced that Davies had agreed a permanent contract on a one-year deal. He played his first game since joining the club permanently on 18 August against Gillingham. He scored his first goal of the season on 25 August in a 5–1 victory over AFC Wimbledon, scoring directly from a free-kick. On 15 September, he scored his second goal of the season during a 3–0 win at home against Barnet. A week later he scored his third goal of the season, opening the scoring in a 2–0 win away to Oxford United.

Walsall player 236. Deon John Burton


Deon John Burton (born 25 October 1976) is a professional footballer who plays for Scunthorpe United as a striker.

Born in Reading, Berkshire, Burton began his professional career with Portsmouth, with whom he made his debut in the 1993–94 season, playing in two games. Burton would play intermittently for Portsmouth over the next three seasons and scored the goal that kept the club in the First Division in a 1–0 final day win against Huddersfield Town in May 1996.
In 1997, former Portsmouth manager Jim Smith signed Burton for Premier League club Derby County in a £1 million move.
Burton would again struggle to establish a starting role at Derby, playing intermittently there with loans at other clubs including Stoke in February 2002, and a second spell at Portsmouth, which began in August 2002. He returned to Derby in September having broken a bone in his foot, but later signed for Portsmouth in December 2002 for a fee rising to £250,000 and Portsmouth were promoted at the end of the season. Burton stayed shortly at Portsmouth, but, unable to establish a starting role, was loaned to Walsall and Swindon Town, where he scored once against Wycombe Wanderers. In July 2004 he signed for Brentford, playing for them in the 2004–05 campaign and helping the club to the League One play-off semi-finals against Sheffield Wednesday as their top scorer.
In July 2005 he joined Rotherham United on a free transfer, signing a contract for two years. After scoring 14 goals in the first half of the season, including a hat-trick in a 4–0 victory against Blackpool, Burton put in a transfer request in December 2005.
Sheffield Wednesday bought Deon Burton from Rotherham United in January 2006 for a fee of £110,000. This caused much controversy amongst the Rotherham public, as Burton was alleged to have trained with Sheffield Wednesday before the transfer window opened. He had also failed to turn up at the Yorkshire derby between Rotherham and Doncaster Rovers on New Year’s Eve. He then told local radio his young children were suffering from a virus which he caught, leading to him missing games and training for the Millers. He scored his first goal for the Owls in March 2006 against Queens Park Rangers.
He went on to play a crucial part in Sheffield Wednesday’s Championship survival and returned to play against his old club Derby County on the final day of the2005–06 season, captaining the Wednesday side to a 2–0 victory with another former Ram, Marcus Tudgay, scoring the first goal.
His good form for Wednesday led to a recall to the international stage. Named as a standby for the friendlies against Ghana and England, he was eventually called up as a replacement for Watford striker Marlon King who was sent home for a breach of discipline. Burton made a second-half appearance as substitute in the 6–0 defeat to England.
Despite only scoring one goal with four months of the 2006–07 campaign gone, Burton’s second half of season form was excellent. He scored 12 more goals, making him the club’s joint top scorer for the season, alongside Steve MacLean.
Deon reached a milestone 100 career goals at club level on 26 December 2007, scoring a penalty against Burnley at Turf Moor. On the last day of the season against Norwich, with Wednesday needing a win to guarantee survival, Burton cancelled out Darren Huckerby’s opening goal with a penalty, before scoring his second, and Wednesday’s third, later in the game, which was won 4–1 by Wednesday. These two goals brought Deon’s tally for the season to nine goals in all competitions, again making him the club’s top scorer for the 2007–08 season. Burton scored his first goal of the 2008–09 season on 25 November 2008, in Wednesday’s 0–2 away win at Blackpool.
Burton joined Championship side Charlton Athletic on loan on 27 November 2008 with a view to a permanent move, Wednesday manager Brian Laws citing Burton’s poor start to the 2008–09 season for the move as well as not being able to give the player assurances over his long term future at Hillsborough. On 2 January 2009, Burton was named as a permanent Charlton player, joining the club on a free transfer.
In 2010, Burton joined Azerbaijan Premier League outfit Gabala under the management of Tony Adams. After two years and 15 goals in the 50 league games, Burton left Gabala at the end of the 2011–12 season.

On 7 August 2012, Burton signed a one-year deal at League Two club Gillingham, turning down the offer of a deal at an unnamed League One side. He made his debut for Gillingham on 18 August 2012 in 3–1 win over Bradford City. He scored his first goal for the club on 25 August in a 2–1 win away to Dagenham & Redbridge. Burton was not offered an extension to his contract and left the club.
Burton signed for League Two club Scunthorpe United on a one-year deal on 22 July 2013 after impressing on trial. He joined League Two team York City, managed by his former Scunthorpe manager Russ Wilcox, on a one-month loan on 30 October 2014. He made his debut two days later in a 1–0 away win over Cheltenham Town, but after being ruled out for two to three months with a medial ligament injury sustained in his second appearance for the club, the loan came to an end on 12 November 2014.
Burton made his debut for the Jamaica national team on 7 September 1997 in the latter stages of their 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign. He finished with four goals from five games, an exploit which won him Jamaica’s Sportsman of the Year Award for almost single-handedly getting the country to the 1998 FIFA World Cup finals. However he failed to score in France. He also appeared in each of Jamaica’s games as they finished fourth in the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cupbut he failed to score. He was also in the squad that failed to qualify for the 2002 FIFA World Cup and was again included on the roster for the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
He was included in the qualifying squad for the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup, making substitute appearances but was dropped from the squad after qualification.
Burton had to wait three years for his next international involvement – coming against the country of his birth England. Good form for Sheffield Wednesday meant that he was recalled for a friendly match against Trinidad and Tobago on 27 March 2008. He came on as a second-half substitute for Marlon King in a 2–2 draw, earning his 50th cap. He kept his place in the squad for the next friendly game against Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on 3 June, again coming off the bench for King in the second half, to score his side’s fourth goal a minute later and also to cross for Ricardo Gardner to score the fifth and final goal in the 87th minute of a 5–1 victory.

Walsall player 227. Ian Robert Brightwell


Ian Robert Brightwell (born 9 April 1968) is an English former professional footballer and manager. As a player he was a defender from 1986 to 2006 and who played 468 league games in a 20-year career the Football League and Premier League.

He was the son of two international (G.B) athletes, Mother Ann Packer and father Robbie Brightwell.

Ann Packer Robbie brightwell_
He started his professional career at Manchester City in 1986, having won the FA Youth Cup with the club, and remained at Maine Road for the next 12 years, helping City to win promotion out of the Second Division in 1988–89. He joined Coventry City in 1998, before moving on to Walsall two years later. He helped the “Saddlers” to win the Second Division play-offs in 2001, before he joined Stoke City in March 2002. After playing for the “Potters” in their Second Division play-off success in 2002, he moved on to Port Vale. He was appointed as a coach at Vale Park in June 2003, before joining Macclesfield Town as a player-coach a year later. He served the club as caretaker-manager in October 2006, before being given the job permanently in June 2007. He left Moss Rose in February 2008 after a poor start to the 2007–08 season.
Brightwell began his career at Manchester City, where he signed schoolboy forms at the age of 14. He was part of the 1986 FA Youth Cup winning team that also included the likes of Paul Lake and David White. Brightwell made his City debut under Billy McNeill on 23 August 1986 against Wimbledon, and therefore came into the first team picture just as City were being relegated out of the First Division in 1986–87 under McNeill and assistant turned replacement manager Jimmy Frizzell. Brightwell became known as a versatile player who played at every single outfield position during his career at the club; however he was most commonly used either as a right-back or as on the right side of midfield. City then finished ninth in the Second Division in 1987–88, before Mel Machin led them to promotion in 1988–89with a second place finish; they ended 17 points behind champions Chelsea and one point ahead of third-place Crystal Palace. Brightwell was also capped four times by England under-21s, scoring twice, in 1988 and 1989. He did not score many goals, but did memorably shoot into the top corner from 25 yards on 3 February 1990, to earn City a draw with rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford. They ended the 1989–90 season in 14th place under short-term boss Howard Kendall, behind United only on goal difference.
City shot up the table in 1990–91 under Peter Reid, finishing in fifth place, though still 21 points behind champions Arsenal. He helped City to record a fifth place finish in 1991–92, some 12 points behind champions Leeds United. They then finished ninth in 1992–93, the first ever season of Premier League football. New manager Brian Horton led the club to disappointing 16th and 17th place finishes in 1993–94 and 1994–95; Brightwell did not feature in the first team however, as he snapped his patella tendon, and was sidelined for more than a year. He did eventually recover, and returned to the City line-up for the 1995–96 campaign under Alan Ball, but could not prevent the “Sky Blues” from being relegated in 18th spot, finishing behind Southampton due to their inferior goal difference.
The 1996–97 season was turbulent, with Ball being replaced by Steve Coppell, who was in turn replaced by Frank Clark; Brightwell remained a constant first team presence however, making 39 appearances. He played just 25 games in 1997–98 though, and was powerless to prevent City from being relegated into the third tier for the first time in the club’s history. He was given a testimonial match and a free transfer, having made 382 league and cup appearances, scoring 19 goals, in an 18-year association with the Maine Road club.
Brightwell joined Premier League side Coventry City for the 1998–99 season, but was given just one League Cup game by manager Gordon Strachan. He leftHighfield Road at the end of the 1999–2000 season without having featured for the “Sky Blues” in the league. He was loaned out to First Division side Walsall at the end of the 1999–2000 campaign, playing ten games, but could not prevent the “Saddlers” from suffering relegation.
Despite Walsall’s relegation, he had impressed manager Ray Graydon during his time at the Bescot Stadium, and joined the club permanently in summer 2000. He played 54 games in the 2000–01 campaign, helping the club to qualify for the Second Division play-offs with a fourth place finish. He played the full 120 minutes of the play-off final at the Millennium Stadium, as Walsall beat Reading 3–2 after extra-time, having to come from behind twice in the game.

He returned to the third tier when he joined Guðjón Þórðarson’s Stoke City in March 2002. He played just four league games for the “Potters” in 2001–02, though came on for Tony Dinning 85 minutes into Stoke’s 2–0 win over Brentford in the play-off final.
In August 2002 he moved on to local rivals Port Vale, who were back in the Second Division under the management of his former boss at Manchester City, Brian Horton. He played 38 games for the “Valiants” in 2002–03, before he was appointed as a coach at Vale Park in June 2003. He featured three times for the Vale first team in 2003–04, before he left the club in May 2004. He also served the club as caretaker-manager for less than 24 hours between Brian Horton’s resignation and Martin Foyle’s appointment in February 2004.
He then joined Brian Horton at Macclesfield Town as a reserve team coach, and also remained registered as a player. He played six League Two and two FA Cup games for the “Silkmen” in 2004–05, all in the first half the campaign. He then played 11 league games in the 2005–06 campaign, and played five league and cup games at the start of the 2006–07 season.
He was appointed caretaker-manager at Macclesfield Town on 2 October 2006 after the sacking of manager of Brian Horton, before the board appointed Paul Ince as permanent manager three weeks later; Ince took them to a 22nd place finish in 2006–07, one place and two points above the relegation zone. Ince resigned on 24 June 2007 to take over at Milton Keynes Dons, and Macclesfield appointed Brightwell as permanent manager, with Asa Hartford as his assistant. The pair left the club in February 2008 after a poor run of results and were replaced by Keith Alexander; Brightwell was given the opportunity to stay at Moss Rose as Alexander’s assistant manager, but declined the offer. Alexander kept the cub in the Football League with a 19th place finish in 2007–08.
In October 2008, Brightwell was brought to back to Port Vale by Dean Glover in a temporary coaching capacity. He spent five months with the “Valiants”, leaving the club at the end of February 2009. He appeared in the Master’s Tournament at the 2009 HKFC International Soccer Sevens, and began working at BBC Radio Manchester as a co-commentator.
Brightwell was born in Lutterworth but grew up in Congleton, with his parents; Olympic 800m gold medalist Ann Packer and 400m runner Robbie Brightwell. His younger brother David also played for Manchester City.
He is a married man and has two children with wife Sally.

Keith Ber
Bertschin left Carrow Road in November 1984 to join Stoke City. Stoke were rock bottom of the table when Bertschin joined in 1984–85 and he could do little to prevent the side failing to an embarrassing relegation which saw Stoke go down with a then record low points tally. In 1985–86 had a fine season top-scoring with 23 goals, 19 coming in the league and he won the player of the year award. Unfortunately for Stoke he was their only consistent goal scorer and the side finished in a mid-table position of 10th. He scored eight goals in 27 appearance in 1986–87 before he was sold to Sunderland in March 1987. He couldn’t prevent Sunderland being relegated but played a major role in 1987–88 which saw the Black Cats win the Third Division title. Bertschin ended his professional career at Walsall, Chester City and Aldershot before dropping into non-league football.
Bertschin played for Solihull Borough, Evesham United and was a member of the Barry Town team which won the Welsh Cup in 1994 with a 2–1 victory against Cardiff City. He then went on to play for Worcester City, Hednesford Town, Tamworth and finally Stafford Rangers.
After retiring from playing, he worked as an agent for a number of players before his appointment to the coaching staff at Birmingham City. In November 2007, when Birmingham manager Steve Bruce left to join Wigan Athletic, Bertschin and other members of Birmingham’s backroom staff accompanied him. In June 2009, when Bruce moved on to Sunderland, Bertschin again followed. On 29 June 2012 it was announced that Bertschin had taken up the post of first team coach at Hull City.
