Player description
Steve, who joined us in
a £175,000 move from Carlisle in July 1997, won England
caps at Under 17, 18 and 19 level while a hugely promising
midfield talent during his YTS years at Derby County.
Born and raised in Walsall, West Midlands, Steve joined
Derby, then managed by Fulham's Chief Scout, Arthur Cox,
from school. However, his chances at the Baseball Ground
were not helped with an influx of players and he made
only 26 League appearances over seven seasons. Steve joined
Carlisle for £100,000 during the 1994/95 season and impressed
as a ball-playing midfielder with an eye for goal and
a competitive spirit. Steve was captain as the Cumbrians
won promotion alongside Fulham in 1997 and scored the
winning goal in that season's Auto Windscreen Trophy in
front of 76,000 at Wembley.
