Craig Michael Faulconbridge (born 20 April 1978) is an English professional footballer.

Career

Born in Nuneaton, Faulconbridge played youth football with Coventry City, before playing league football for Dunfermline Athletic, Hull City, Wrexham and Wycombe Wanderers.[1][2]

Faulconbridge notably scored a dramatic goal during the 1997–98 Scottish Premier Division season for Dunfermline against Celtic, a goal which denied Celtic the league championship that weekend.[3] Celtic eventually clinched the championship, which denied Rangers a tenth successive championship, on the final day of the season by beating St Johnstone 2–0.[4]

He later played non-league football with Wingate & Finchley, Maidenhead United, Oxford City, Carshalton Athletic and Woking, before joining Didcot Town as a player-coach in June 2011. He left in October 2011 after the resignation of Manager Francis Vines.[5]

He signed for Aylesbury on 10 January 2012. After the conclusion of the season, Faulconbridge was confirmed as the new manager at Aylesbury, replacing Steve Smith. In June 2012, Faulconbridge confirmed his intentions to play next season, and will therefore balance the player/manager duties.[6]

Faulconbridge left Aylesbury in the autumn of 2013, replaced by former Slough Town manager Steve Bateman.
