David Serella (born 24 September 1952) is an English former professional footballer who played 376 league and cup matches for Nottingham Forest, Walsall, and Blackpool.[1][2]

Serella now lives and works in Lytham St Annes.[3]

He was one of the two players assaulted by Newcastle fans during the 1974 sixth round FA Cup tie on 9 March 1974, whilst playing in central defence alongside Bob Chapman.[4] Newcastle United fans invaded the pitch and although the match was completed the FA ordered that the game was scrubbed from the record books and replayed at Goodison Park.[5][6]

In May 2007 Dave stood for election in the Kilnhouse Ward of the Fylde Borough Council local council elections.[7]
