Career

Having represented England at youth level, [2] Entwistle began his club career with his hometown team Bury in August 1976. After making 31 league appearances, he was sold to Sunderland in November 1977 for £30,000. [3] He went on to make over 50 appearances in all competitions for the club. [4]

He joined Leeds United in October 1979 for a fee of £80,000. [2] Signed as part of the deal that took John Hawley to Sunderland, he struggled to establish himself in the first team and was released on a free transfer a year later. [5] He spent two seasons with Blackpool followed by short spells with Crewe Alexandra and Wimbledon before returning to his first club Bury. [6] After leaving Bury in 1985, he played for Carlisle United, Bolton Wanderers, Burnley and Stockport County. [6]

He returned to Bury for a brief third spell in 1988, playing twice for the club on non-contract terms before leaving to join Wigan Athletic on a permanent basis. [6] Wigan were the eighth FA Cup winning side that Entwistle had played for during his career, the most of any professional player. [3] He played 29 times for the side during the 1988–89 season in the Third Division before leaving to join Hartlepool United at the end of the season. [7] He made his debut for Hartlepool on 9 September 1989 in a 2–1 defeat to Gillingham and appeared in one further match for the club before leaving to join non-league side Halifax Town. He later played for several other non-league sides before retiring. [2]

Later life

Following his retirement from football, Entwistle set up his own meat export business. [5] [8] He has also worked as a DJ. [2]

In 2007, Entwistle submitted a proposed takeover bid at his former club Bury alongside two financial backers. [9] [10] He stated that the possibility of manager Chris Casper being sacked convinced him to become involved but that he had no desire to become chairman if the deal was completed. [11]
