Steve Brown (born July 7, 1966 in Northampton) is a former English professional football midfielder, now youth team manager at Queens Park Rangers in the Football League Championship.
'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 Wanderers 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.
On the 22nd June 2007, Wycombe announced that Brown would be leaving the club with immediate effect. The club cited financial reasons for his departure.
In July 2007, Brown was appointed by John Gregory, his former manager at Wycombe, as youth team manager at Queens Park Rangers.
