Phil Brown (1966 footballer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phil Brown, born January 16, 1966 in Sheffield, England is an English professional footballer who is currently one of the player-managers of Northern Premier League Premier Division side Matlock Town along with Gareth Williams. He usually plays in midfield, but can also play as a striker.

He started his career in 1982, coming through the ranks at Chesterfield where he stayed for 4 years. In 1986, he moved to Stockport County, but left soon after. He was then without a club for a year, before he was snapped up by Lincoln City in 1988. He stayed there for just one season, before moving down to non-league football, where he has played ever since for teams like Kettering Town, Boston United and Gainsborough Trinity.

Brown was originally signed by Matlock in 2002 as a player, but was made joint player-manager in 2004 after previous boss Ernie Moss left to manage Hucknall Town.
