Career

Streete played in the Football League for Cambridge United, Derby County, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Reading, making a total of 357 appearances for all four clubs. [3] Streete also played in the Netherlands for Utrecht and Cambuur, [4] before finishing his career in non-league football for Leighton Town.

He is perhaps best remembered for his career at Wolves, joining the Black Country club from Derby County in October 1985 for £5,000. Derby would win promotion from the Third Division that season while Wolves suffered relegation, but he played a key role in their turnaround in fortunes which followed over the next few years. He helped them win successive promotions as Fourth Division champions in 1988 and Third Division champions a year later, also winning the Football League Trophy in the first promotion season. He helped Wolves achieve a top half finish in the Second Division for the 1989–90 season before dropping down a division and signing for Reading in July 1990. [5]

After football

After retiring as a player Streete worked as a PE teacher, [4] before moving to the Cayman Islands to open a gymnasium and teach football. [6]

His son Remie Streete was also a professional footballer who played for Port Vale. [7] Another son Cameron Streete played for Swedish club Djurgårdens IF U19. [8]
