Kevin Young (born 12 August 1961) is an English former footballer.
Young began his career as an apprentice at Burnley, turning professional in May 1979 after his league debut. In November 1983, with his regular place at Burnley now a thing of the past he moved to Torquay United on loan, and the following month he moved on loan to Port Vale until the end of the season.[1] In July 1984, after 120 league games for Burnley, in which he scored 11 goals, Young moved to Lancashire rivals Bury, where he was to play regularly for the next two seasons. He left Bury after ten goals in 88 league games, joining Dutch side Utrecht.
