Philip James Brown (born 16 January 1966) is an English former professional footballer who played as a winger in the Football League for Chesterfield,[4] Stockport County,[5] and Lincoln City.[1]

Career

Brown was born in Sheffield. He started his career as an apprentice at Chesterfield, and made his debut on 14 May 1983 as a substitute in a 1–0 home defeat to Millwall in the Third Division.[6] In December 1986, Ernie Moss and Brown were transferred to Stockport County for a joint fee of £10,000.[7] In the summer of 1987 he moved to Lincoln City,[1] who had recently become the first club to be automatically relegated out of the Football League.[8] He was the leading goalscorer as the Imps secured their return to the league at the first attempt.[9] He spent a further two seasons with Lincoln before moving into non-League football with Kettering Town,[10] where he was leading scorer in the 1992–93 season,[9] Boston United,[11][12] and Gainsborough Trinity.

Brown was originally signed by Matlock Town in 2002 as a player, but he and Gareth Williams were made joint player-managers in 2004 after previous manager Ernie Moss left for Hucknall Town.[13] The pair remained in post for more than four years until sacked in October 2008.[14]
