Neil Redfearn was born in Dewsbury, West Yorks, in 1965. Forty years later, he is still playing professional football, with Scarborough of the Conference. His career journey began as an apprentice with Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest in 1981, and has taken him to a total of 14 different clubs - including Bolton, Crystal Palace, Barnsley, Charlton and Bradford - and close to a record number of senior appearances, at just under 1000.
Redfearn played 790 matches in the Football League, the fifth highest total of all-time, and more than a thousand first team games overall in a career that has spanned 24 years. He has had spells as caretaker manager of Halifax Town and York City and as manager of Scarborough and Northwich Victoria.
"Take a ticking-off from Clough and a tirade from Wenger. Add a touch of Premiership dreamland and the nightmare of relegation to the Conference. Combine with the triumph of barnsleys promotion year and the trauma of the Valley Parade fire. Stir in almost 1000 senior appearences for 14 clubs and 22 managers.
What do you have? Neil Redfearn. And a footballing career that will fascinate lovers of the game at all levels.
It's a story that may never be told again. Why? Because Redfearn could well be the last in the line of players who made their name in the lower divisions, worked their way up to the top... and then embarked on a return journey to the game's outposts; a trajectory that simply isn't on the agenda for today's Premier League supertars.
It's a story of highs and lows, of fanfares and fall-outs. But above all it's a story of a passionate football man, a carrer that spans a quarter of a century and a million memories."
310 pages. Illustrated with black & white photographs.
