Roger William Brown (12 December 1952 – 17 August 2011) was an English football manager and player who played as a defender. He made over 300 Football League appearances in total, playing for Bournemouth in two spells, Norwich City and Fulham. He managed Colchester United between 1987 and 1988. ==Playing career== Brown, born in Tamworth, began his career with local club Dosthill Rovers, later moving to Bolehall Swifts, before joining Walsall as an apprentice in 1970, but failed to earn a contract with the club.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thisistamworth.co.uk/Footballer-Roger-Brown-dies-aged-58/story-13209254-detail/story.html#axzz2NiIQnNlx )〕 Following this, he joined Paget Rangers〔 and then moved to Leamington after becoming a production manager at an engineering firm based in the town.〔 In February 1978, Brown was signed by John Benson at Bournemouth following the recommendation to him by Harry Redknapp after he had played alongside Brown at Leamington after a spell in the USA with Seattle Sounders. He signed for a fee of £10,000, breaking the pro ranks at the age of 25.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/9204662.Cherries__Harry_in_tribute_to_defender_Roger/ )〕 He made 63 league appearances for the Cherries, scoring three times before〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.neilbrown.newcastlefans.com/player4/rogerbrown.html )〕 earning an £85,000 transfer to First Division club Norwich City in July 1979, following manager John Bond.〔 During his stint with City, Brown accumulated 21 appearances in all competitions prior to being sold to Fulham in March 1980 for £100,000,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ex-canaries.co.uk/players/brown-roger.htm )〕 helping the club to an impressive 12th position in the league.〔 On his debut against Chelsea, Brown was injured, but he went on to become a fans favourite, leading the side to promotion to the Second Division in 1981–82 and scoring the winning goal against Lincoln City to seal promotion.〔 He made 141 appearances and scored 18 times for the Cottagers.〔 In December 1983, Brown returned to Dean Court for a second spell with Bournemouth, signed by then-rookie manager Harry Redknapp for £35,000.〔 Just weeks after his return, Brown captained the side during one of the greatest shocks in the history of the FA Cup by defeating holders Manchester United 2–0. The Bournemouth side were struggling in the Third Division at the time as he played an important central defensive role to keep the United stars at bay.〔 Brown made 84 appearances and scored five goals in his second stint with Bournemouth,〔 also winning an Associate Members Cup medal in 1984〔 before he departed for non-league football once again, playing for Weymouth and Poole Town.〔 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「Roger Brown (footballer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
