Contents

He scored 27 goals from 155 games in the Football League playing as a forward for Halifax Town, Hull City, Swansea City and Scarborough. [1] [2]

Playing career

Brown played non-League football for Bridlington Town, North Ferriby United, and Guiseley, [3] before making three appearances in the Football League for Halifax Town in 1992 on a non-contract basis. [2]

During the 1992–93 season he joined Hull City where he made his name in football, often a fans favourite. In his first season, he made 21 appearances scoring 3 goals. In the 1993–94 season for Hull City, Brown played 43 games for the club establishing himself as a first team favourite scoring 10 goals. Then backed up the following season with 12 goals for the club. However, in the 1995–96 season Brown scored only one goal and appeared in 26 games, and he was sold by Terry Dolan to Swansea City.[ citation needed ]

Injury disrupted his Swansea career; he scored three goals in 28 League games, finishing his Football League career on loan at Scarborough, before moving back into non-League football in 1998 with Emley and then Gainsborough Trinity. [3]

After football

After retiring from playing, he worked behind the scenes at his former club Hull, as the commercial manager.

Brown was also the chief executive at Barnsley until January 2017 [4] and in April of the same year was appointed as the head of commercial at Bolton Wanderers. [5]

From 2019 until 2022, he was employed by Blackpool as chief commercial officer. [6]

In May 2024, he was appointed as the Head of commercial operations at EFL League Two side Cheltenham Town. [7]

The season was the Saints' worst league campaign since they were promoted to the second flight in 1923, as they finished in 19th place just two places and eight points above the relegation spots. With a lack of high-scoring forwards and injuries to players across the squad, the side struggled to pick up wins throughout the season; in the first half of the campaign, they continued their run without an away win that had encompassed the whole of the previous season, finally ending it after 33 winless fixtures with victory over Swansea Town on Christmas Day 1934. Southampton finished the season with 11 wins, 12 draws and 19 losses – their lowest win rate since the 1911–12 season.
