David Lee Foy (born 20 October 1972) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder in the Football League for Birmingham City and Scunthorpe United.[2] After playing in the Football League he had a long career in non-League football.
Football career
Foy was born in
Football League debut in the First Division (second tier) on 13 February 1993 in a 3–2 home defeat to Portsmouth. He started the next two games,[5] but soon afterwards was allowed to leave for Scunthorpe United on a free transfer.[6] In his debut game he made a late goalline clearance which earned his club a 0–0 draw against Wrexham, but Scunthorpe released him at the end of the season and he joined Stafford Rangers.[7]
After something over a season in the
Conference North club Moor Green, but by December 2004 was being loaned out to Stratford Town of the Midland Alliance,[11] and moved on to Southern League Division One West club Bedworth United at the end of the season.[12] However, Foy's domestic circumstances meant that in March 2006 he chose to make a permanent move to Stratford Town to reduce the amount of travelling required.[13] After rejoining Stratford Town in 2008,[14] Foy made a total of 51 appearances (39 in the league) across all three spells, scoring twice (both in the league).[15]
