Biography

Playing career

Greygoose began his long football career at Cambridge United, where he signed a professional contract in November 1982, and made his debut during the 1983-84 season. In total, he played 26 league games for Cambridge, but was mostly the team's reserve goalkeeper, behind Malcolm Webster and later Keith Branagan. Spells at Leyton Orient and Crystal Palace followed, before signing for Crewe in August 1987, where he spent six seasons as first-choice goalkeeper.

In 1993, Greygoose was released by Crewe, and joined Conference side Northwich Victoria where he spent another six seasons before leaving at the end of the 1998-99 season. He then played for several non-league clubs, including Altrincham, Chester City, Stevenage Borough, AFC Sudbury and Soham Town Rangers. Greygoose joined Bury Town during the 2006-07 season, and played for the club until retiring in July 2009.[1]

Coaching career

Greygoose also worked as a goalkeeping coach at Bury Town, and was joint manager of Team Bury from 2009 until July 2010, when he joined Histon as goalkeeping coach.[2] In June 2012 he joined Kettering Town as assistant manager to John Beck and goalkeeping coach.[3] He joined Haverhill Rovers as manager in May 2013, but left in August 2014.[4] In 2014 he was appointed manager of Mildenhall Town.[5] The club won the Eastern Counties League Premier Division title in 2016–17, earning promotion to Division One North of the Isthmian League. Greygoose left the club in December 2018.[6] During the 2019–20 season he became goalkeeping coach at Eynesbury Rovers, and was appointed joint manager of the club in January 2020.[7]
