Colin Nigel Pepper (born April 25, 1968 in Rotherham, England), more commonly known as Nigel Pepper, is an English footballer.
Pepper played for York when they beat Manchester United 3–0 at Old Trafford in the League Cup in 1995. He later had an extraordinary spell at Aberdeen - sent off after six minutes of a substitute appearance, and then after a mere 17 seconds as a substitute on his return[1]
Since hanging up his boots, he has studied for a teaching degree and is currently working with the City of York Council helping to rehabilitate young offenders.
