Kevin Scott

Kevin Watson Scott (born 17 December 1966) is an English former football defender. He played over 300 games for six clubs in the Football League.

Starting his career with Newcastle United in 1984, he spent ten years with the club, playing as captain as the club won the First Division title in 1992–93. A move to Tottenham Hotspur followed in February 1994. However, he did not settle at the club and instead spent the majority of his three years at the club on loan at Port Vale, Charlton Athletic and Norwich City. He moved to Norwich permanently in 1997, spending two years at the club before leaving the professional game in 1999, shortly after a loan spell with Darlington.

Career A former youth player at Middlesbrough, Scott spent just one season with the club before being released. He worked at a paper mill and a lumber factory whilst playing part-time for Durham City.

Former Newcastle boss Osvaldo Ardiles was in charge at White Hart Lane and led Spurs to a 15th-place finish in the Premier League in 1993–94. Gerry Francis replaced Ardiles as manager early in the 1994–95 season, and Scott lost his first-team place. He signed on loan for John Rudge's Port Vale in January 1995. He helped to shore up Port Vale's defence, as an upturn in form in the second half of the 1994–95 season saw Port Vale rise out of the First Division relegation zone. As of December 2011, he was working as a driving instructor with Loxley driver training.
