[edit] Playing career

Phil Brown started his career playing Sunday league football for South Shields side Red Duster in the South Shields Business Houses League, in the same team as Bobby Davison who went on to play for Leeds United.[citation needed]

As a professional, Brown played as a full back for many years — most of which were spent at Bolton Wanderers. He also played for Hartlepool and Halifax Town, playing alongside fellow North Easterner Billy Ayre at both clubs and under him at the latter,[1] and finishing his playing career at Blackpool in 1996.

[edit] Managerial career

[edit] Bolton Wanderers

Brown returned to Bolton and spent several years as assistant manager to Colin Todd and Sam Allardyce, briefly serving as caretaker-manager between the two reigns.

[edit] Derby County

Brown's first full time senior management position was at Derby County, where he succeeded George Burley in June 2005. His time at Derby County proved to be unsuccessful and he was sacked just seven months into his tenure, in January 2006, after a 3-1 defeat to Colchester in the FA Cup fourth round.

[edit] Hull City

Brown was appointed as first-team coach for Hull City on October 27, 2006 under Phil Parkinson, and took over as joint caretaker manager alongside Colin Murphy on December 4, 2006 after Parkinson's sacking. Following three wins and a draw in the six matches he took charge of as caretaker, he was appointed as the permanent manager at the club on January 4, 2007.

Under Brown, Hull City won promotion for the first time in the team's history to the top level of English football by beating Bristol City at Wembley in the Championship play-off final on May 24, 2008. Brown described this as "the best day of my life, without a shadow of a doubt".[2]
