Steve Emery (born 7 February 1956 in Ledbury) is a former English footballer who played for over 13 seasons in the Football League, spending much of his career at Hereford United where he made 333 competitive appearances.
He was a versatile midfield player and started his career at Hereford when he became the club's first professional apprentice, signing just before his 18th birthday. Initially he spent seven seasons at Edgar Street and was a first team regular during Hereford's rise from the Fourth Division to the Second Division, and their decline back into the basement division. In 1979 he was sold to Derby County for £100,000, making the step up to the First Division.
After three seasons, and a brief spell at Newport County, he returned to Hereford in 1983 before moving to Wrexham. He finished his career in non-league football with Gloucester City and Westfields, where he was player-manager whilst also working in the licensed trade. He also managed Ledbury Town for nearly five years.
