Biography

English was born in Cirencester, Gloucestershire and attended school in Colchester, Essex. He began his career as an apprentice at Coventry City.[1] After making 66 league appearances for Coventry, scoring seventeen times, he signed for Leicester City in 1982. After being released in 1984, he made a handful of appearances for Rochdale and Plymouth Argyle as a non-contract player, before signing for Colchester United in 1985. After playing a single game for Colchester he signed for Australian club Canberra City, but returned to Colchester in November.

He left Colchester in 1987 and played for non-League clubs Wealdstone and Bishop's Stortford, before returning to Colchester for a third time in 1989. In 1990 he signed for Hong Kong club Happy Valley, before returning to England to play for Crawley Town, Wivenhoe Town, Sudbury Town and Harwich & Parkeston before retiring in 1999
