Brigg Town is an English football team based in Brigg, Lincolnshire. They are one of the oldest football clubs in the world, with only Sheffield (1857), Hallam (1860) and Cray Wanderers (1860) proclaiming to be older. Currently, they play in the Northern Premier League Division One South, the fourth tier of the National League System and the eighth tier of the English football league system. ==History== Known as the ''Zebras'', they wear black and white as home colours and have in recent years played in the Northern Counties East League. Champions of the league in the 2000–01 season, they were denied promotion to the Northern Premier League because improvements to their ground were not completed before the deadline. They were runners-up the two following years but only the champions of the NCE League are promoted as a rule. However, after finishing third in the 2003–04 season they were promoted as a part of the National League System restructuring. For the 2008–09 season, the club replaced manager Dave McLean with Steve Housham. Housham brought in former coach Dave Andrews and club legend Jimmy Snee to assist him in leading the team, but their young team struggled to 20th position in the league, and were only reprieved from relegation by the collapse of Gresley Rovers. In the summer of 2011 manager Steve Housham decided to leave Brigg for a full-time position with Gainsborough Trinity and after a lengthy interview process ex-Lincoln City manager Pete Daniel was appointed to the post with club captain Lee Roy Cochrane as his assistant. On the national level Brigg Town have won the FA Vase twice, in 1996 and 2003, under longtime manager Ralph Clayton. In the 2001–02 FA Cup, they defeated eventual Football Conference champions Boston United before being beaten by Tranmere Rovers who ranked five levels above them on the football pyramid. In September 2014 player manager Scott Hellewell stepped down following a tough start to the season. Scott was replaced by Gary Paton who had been the assistant manager to Hellewell. Gary Paton installed former player Phil Jackman as his assistant and UEFA A licence coach Callum Lester as his first team coach. Brigg chairman Kye Brown stood down in early July and was replaced by former Grimsby Borough chairman Simon Harris. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brigg Town F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
