Wayne Brown (born 14 January 1977 in Southampton) is an English footballer who currently plays for Hereford United as a goalkeeper.
Brown was a trainee at Bristol City between 1993 and 1996 but made only one appearance for the Robins. After a brief spell with Weston-super-Mare he joined Chester City in September 1996. In a ten season stint with the club he made 289 appearances, becoming first choice keeper in the 1999-00 season. However for the 2005-06 season he was allowed to go on loan to Hereford where he made 36 appearances. Inexplicably Chester prevented him from participating in cup matches despite his loan being for the entire season.
He was the first choice keeper for Hereford in Conference matches and was an integral part of the best defence in the Conference that season, conceding just 30 goals. In the 2006 Conference Playoff Final with just a few minutes to go in extra time, Brown sustained a head injury in a collision. With all three substitutions made it looked for a moment as if he would be unable to continue, but after several minutes he recovered and even made a good save in the dying minutes to keep Hereford 3-2 up. Hereford went on to win the match and promotion to the Football League, and Brown signed for Hereford permanently soon afterwards.
He was injured in Hereford's first league match of the season and missed eight matches. Since returning he has been first choice keeper. He has also made six appearances for the England National Game XI semi-professional side.
