Club Career |
|
Club(s) |
Began his
junior career as an eight-year old when he was put between the sticks for
Gillway Boys FC. Played in the Tamworth Sunday League with The Merican FC
when he was just fourteen years old. He represented Aldridge & Brownhills
District schools' team as a centre-half. As a sixteen year-old, his trial
with Wolverhampton Wanderers FC was unsuccessful. However, he did sign
junior forms with Aston Villa FC on a non-contract basis in 1977, but he
soon walked away from Villa Park. After leaving school, Coton kept goal
once for Tamworth FC in a Southern League Division One (North) match, then
in the Birmingham League for Kingsbury United FC and in the Midlands
Combination League for Mile Oak Rovers FC. Then, in October 1978, another
trial, this time with Birmingham City FC, proved to be a success. |
