David Staff (born 8 November 1979) is an English footballer, born in Market Harborough, who played in the Football League for Boston United.[1] He currently plays for Rugby Town.
Before joining Boston United in August 2004, Staff played non-league football for clubs including Rushden & Diamonds, Stamford and King's Lynn,[2] where he was leading scorer in the 2003–04 season with 23 goals in all competitions.[3] He made his Football League debut on 21 August 2004 as a very late substitute in the League Two game against Macclesfield Town which finished 1–1,[4] but failed to establish himself in Boston's first team and returned to King's Lynn. Described as a " versatile attacking midfielder",[5] Staff went on to play for Nuneaton Borough,[6] Cambridge City on loan,[7][8] Rugby Town, initially on loan,[5] Brackley Town,[9] before returning to Rugby Town in January 2009.[5]
Staff appeared on Sky One's game-show Gladiators, which he won,[10] before also winning on the 'Champion of Champions' show.[11] He works as a sports coach for Kettering Borough Council and Moulton College in Northamptonshire.[11]
