Christopher Adamson (born 4 November 1978) is an English former football goalkeeper who played for 13 clubs in a 13-year career. Adamson is currently goalkeeping coach at Mansfield Town,[1] as well as a coach at non-league side Bustleholme.
Career
Early career
Adamson joined West Bromwich Albion as an apprentice in April 1995, turning professional in July 1997; he made his Albion début away at Stockport County on 11 April 1998.[2] He generally found it difficult to break into the Albion first team, and remained an understudy to more experienced keepers such as Alan Miller, Brian Jensen and Russell Hoult. Adamson spent time on loan at various clubs, including IK Brage in Sweden, Mansfield Town, Halifax Town, Plymouth Argyle and Halesowen Town. Adamson then signed for League of Ireland side St Patrick's Athletic. In 2003, he was nominated for the League of Ireland 'Goalkeeper of the Year'.[3]

Adamson made five appearances for the Owls in the 2005–06 season, keeping a clean sheet versus Crystal Palace at Hillsborough as well as keeping goal in the Steel City derby after the long-term injury to David Lucas. He lost his place in the side following the arrival of England U21 keeper Scott Carson on loan from Liverpool. Chris did however captain the Sheffield Wednesday reserve team to the title in the Pontins Central Reserve League.

On 9 April 2010 Adamson was involved in a car crash on the M5 motorway between Worcester and Droitwich Spa,[15] he was taken to hospital for minor injuries.[15] but he later discharged.[15] A motorcyclist was airlifted to hospital with chest and shoulder injuries whilst two other people were treated for minor injuries.[15] After the accident, he rested at home to recover from the injuries[16] and he was not involved in any other match day XIII for the remainder of the season.[17]
In May 2010, Adamson was released by Hereford United after making only one appearance.[18]
Coaching
After he left Hereford, Adamson trained Boston United and played 80 minutes of their 3–1 friendly win over Belper on 31 July 2010. However, he moved Mansfield Town to become the club's goalkeeping coach later that summer.[1]
