*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Ian Martin Juryeff (born 24 November 1962) is an English former professional footballer who played as a forward for various Football League clubs in the 1980s and 1990s. He started his career as a trainee with Southampton, but only made two substitute appearances in the First Division in 1983 before being released. After several loan spells, he then had a ten-year career in the lower leagues, including over four years at Orient.

After ceasing to play in the Football League, he qualified as a sports scientist and was employed as a community football development officer, while continuing to play non-league football on a part-time basis. He then became a coach, working with youth teams at Southampton and Chelsea. Since April 2012, he has been first-team trainer and technical director at minor French club, US Gonnehem from the Pas-de-Calais department. ^[2]

Football career

Juryeff was born in Gosport and attended Bridgemary School. ^[1] He joined Southampton as an associate schoolboy in December 1977, before being taken on as an apprentice in August 1979, following which he signed his first professional contract in February 1980. ^[1] He made his debut for the reserve team on 21 October 1980, when he scored in a 5–3 victory over Crystal Palace, after which he was a regular in the reserves, scoring eight goals from 13 appearances in 1980–81. ^[3]

With the "Saints" having finished as runners-up in the First Division in 1980–81 with players such as Kevin Keegan, Mick Channon and David Armstrong, there were no first-team opportunities for Juryeff and he continued to play in the reserves, with 16 goals from 27 appearances in 1981–82. ^[3] In 1982, he switched to a more defensive role and made 37 appearances in 1982–83, mainly as a defensive midfielder, only scoring three goals. ^[3]

His versatility earned him the place as substitute for the first-team and he made his debut at Coventry City on 26 November 1983 as a 77th minute replacement for midfielder Steve Williams who had been injured by a head-butt from Stephen Hunt, for which Hunt was sent-off. Juryeff's next appearance came four days later, at Leicester City, when he replaced Mark Dennis in defence. ^[4]

Juryeff remained with Southampton until February 1985, but spent spells on loan to IFK Munkfors in Sweden, and then at Mansfield Town from March to May 1984, followed by a loan to Reading from November 1984 to January 1985. ^[1]

Juryeff joined Orient in February 1985, then of the Football League Third Division. ^[1] Juryeff was unable to prevent Orient being relegated at the end of the season, although they were promoted back via the play-offs in 1989. Juryeff remained at the Brisbane Road club for 4+1⁄2 years, scoring 45 goals from 111 League appearances. ^[5] In February 1989, he had a short period on loan to Ipswich Town for whom he made two substitute appearances. ^[6]

In August 1989, he joined Halifax Town but was sold to Hereford United in December 1989 for a fee of £50,000. ^[7] He remained with Hereford for nine months, before being transferred back to Halifax for the same fee, ^[7] a record transfer fee paid by Halifax Town. ^[8]

His Football League career finished with Darlington (from August 1992 to August 1993) and Scunthorpe United (from August 1993 to March 1995). ^[1]

He then played for several non-league clubs on a part-time basis, including Farnborough Town, ^[9] Fareham Town, Havant Town, Weston Super Mare, Newport (IOW) and Bashley, where he ended his playing career in 1999. ^[1]

Coaching career

After retiring from full-time football, Juryeff studied at Farnborough College of Technology from where he graduated with a degree in Sports Science, ^[1] going on to qualify as a UEFA Level Four coach. ^{[10] [11]} In 1997, he was appointed the Assistant Community Officer at Charlton Athletic before taking up the post of Community Football Development Office at Southampton in September 1997. ^[1]

In July 2003, Juryeff was appointed head coach at Bath City of the Southern League Premier Division under manager Alan Pridham ^[12] but resigned six weeks later, for "personal reasons". ^[13]

He then returned to Southampton, where he became a youth coach at the Saints Academy, working with players such as Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, before joining Chelsea in 2009 as a Community Coach, also working with the under-19 women's team. ^[11]

In April 2012, he was appointed first-team trainer and technical director at minor French club, US Gonnehem from the Pas-de-Calais department. ^{[2] [14]}
