Philip Michael "Phil"
Starbuck (born 24 November 1968) is an English former professional footballer who scored 43 goals
from 245 appearances in the Football League playing for a
number of different clubs.[1][2] He
started out as a striker then winger before eventually
becoming an attacking midfielder.
Until June 2009 he was manager of Grantham Town.
Playing
career
Starbuck was born in Nottingham, and started his career as an
apprentice at Nottingham Forest.[3]
He scored on his First Division debut at
Newcastle United aged 18 in
December 1986 and again in his second outing, a 1–1 draw against Liverpool on New
Year's Day 1987.[4] He
spent time on loan at Birmingham City, Hereford
United and Blackburn Rovers before moving to
Huddersfield Town on a free
transfer in 1991.[1] On
12 April 1993, he set the record for the fastest goal scored by a
substitute (since
beaten[5]) when
he netted against Wigan Athletic just 3 seconds after
entering the game.[6] He then
went to play at a higher level with Sheffield United before appearing
for Bristol
City, Oldham Athletic and Plymouth
Argyle in the Football League, RKC Waalwijk in the
Dutch Eredivisie,[7] and Cambridge
City and Burton Albion in non-league football, before going into
management.[1] His
half-season at Cambridge City was marred by a
broken leg sustained in a pre-season friendly against Coventry
City. In all, he made 188 first team starts in the Football
League, the most being 120 for Huddersfield, for whom he scored 36
goals.[1]
Management
career
His first management job was at Hucknall Town, appointed in December
2001[8] and
dismissed in June 2003.[9] He
joined Leigh RMI, initially as player-assistant
manager, before being appointed manager in November 2003.[10] He
resigned in November 2004[11] and
joined Arnold
Town as a player. He went on to manage the club,[12]
before joining Hednesford Town on 31 May 2006. A successful first
half to the 2006-2007 season saw the Pitmen top the table in the
Northern Premier league, before a poor run of form saw them
eventually finish seventh. After losing his assistant manager John Ramshaw to Lincoln
United in the summer of 2007, he brought in the experienced Jimmy Mullen as his
new number two.[13]
Hednesford started the 2007-2008 season well, but a run of
inconsistent form saw them once again miss out on the play-offs,
finishing eighth In May 2008, Hednesford Town announced that
Starbuck had left the club with immediate effect.[14]
In October 2008, he took over as manager of Grantham
Town in the Northern Premier League
Division One South,[15] and
was sacked at the end of the 2008–09 season.[16]
