Steve Haslam (born September 6, 1979 in Sheffield) is a right back currently playing for Bury.
Back in 1995, Steve Haslam captained an England schoolboys team to a 1-0 victory over a Brazilian team including Ronaldinho. The team he captained included the likes of Wes Brown, Michael Ball and Michael Owen (who scored the only goal).[1]
Steve then started his professional football career at Sheffield Wednesday, the team he had supported all his life. Signed as a trainee in the 1996-1997 season, with big things expected of him he made his debut in the FA Premier League, aged 19 on Saturday, 8 May 1999 against Liverpool at Hillsborough . He played that game in front of 27,383 fans. The result was a 1-0 victory to, 'The Owls'.[2] He continued to make over 100 appearances and score 2 goals for the Yorkshire club.[3] Showing ability to play across the back four and in midfield, he captained the side at every level including the first team.
He was released from the club along with 12 other players by Chris Turner in one of the biggest clear out of players the club had ever seen at the end of the 2003-2004 season [4] before being signed by Halifax Town.
After almost 100 games for Halifax it was announced on the 18th of June 2007 that Steve had made a return to the football league by signing a two year deal with Bury. [5]
