Southampton

Born in Winchester, Hampshire, he signed for Southampton on leaving school in 1974 and made his first team debut two years later in a 2–2 draw against Hull City at Boothferry Park in the Second Division. He managed 12 league appearances in 1976–77, scoring twice. He made 12 appearances again in the 1977–78 season, scoring once, as the Saints won promotion to the First Division – where they would remain for the next 27 years.

Hebberd established himself as a regular player in the 1979–80 season, but lost his place in the team a year later. He played 11 league games in 1980–81 and just four in 1981–82. He had played 95 league games for the Saints, scoring seven goals. [2]

He remained at Southampton until 1982, when he was sold to Oxford United. During his final season at Southampton, he had loan spells with Bolton Wanderers and Leicester City. [3]

Oxford United and Derby County

Hebberd was a key player in Oxford's Third Division title triumph in 1984 and their Second Division championship glory the following year. In 1986 he achieved the finest moment of his career by helping Oxford win the League Cup at Wembley with the opening goal in a 3–0 victory. He received the man of the match award. [3]

When Oxford were relegated from the First Division in 1988, Hebberd was sold to Derby County [3] and in his first season he helped them finish fifth in the league. But, like Oxford's League Cup triumph three years earlier, the ban on English clubs in European competition meant that Hebberd was unable to experience the UEFA Cup, and County were relegated to the Second Division two years later.

Later career

In the autumn of 1991, Hebberd spent a month on loan at Portsmouth before leaving the Baseball Ground for good and being signed by Fourth Division side Chesterfield. [1] He spent three years at Saltergate before signing for Lincoln City.

Hebberd joined Lincoln for the 1994–95 season. [1] He made his senior debut for them on the opening day of the campaign, in a 2–0 victory over Exeter City. [4] He played in most league games for Lincoln up until his final match, against Hartlepool United on 4 March 1995. [4] In total he made 33 appearances for Lincoln before being given a free transfer at the end of the season, later finishing his career at Southern League Grantham Town. [4]

Post-playing career

He later worked in a warehouse in Leicester. [3]

It was the sole season to feature Graeme Souness as the club's manager, who took over from Dave Merrington in the summer of 1996. After finishing 17th and avoiding relegation on goal difference the previous season, the Saints had another poor campaign as they improved their league position by just one place, finishing a single point above the drop zone. Outside the league, the club were knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round, but made it to the fifth round of the League Cup for the first time since 1991. This was the last season with chairman Guy Askham, who left in 1997.
