Steve Brown (footballer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steve Brown (born July 7, 1966 in Northampton) is a former English professional football midfielder and current assistant manager at Wycombe Wanderers in Football League Two.

'Brownie' started his career at Northampton Town, but left in December 1985 to join Irthlingborough Diamonds. He rejoined Northampton in July 1989 and was signed for Wycombe in February 1994 by Martin O'Neill. He was a fans' favourite at the club, playing in 443 games and scoring 43 goals in a Wycombe career which lasted for 10 years. He was part of the team which reached the semi finals of the F.A Cup in 2001.

Brown retired from football in May 2004 but was appointed as an assistant manager by then Wycombe manager John Gorman along with fellow Blues legend Keith Ryan in November 2004. After Gorman's switch to Northampton, there was speculation that Brown would follow as he has strong links to the club. However, the new Wycombe manager, Paul Lambert, confirmed that Brown would be staying on as a coach at the club.
