Mark Hill

Brentford Hill joined Third Division club Brentford in July 1980, as one of new manager Fred Callaghan's first signings. He scored on his debut versus Charlton Athletic and scored one goal for and against the Bees in front of the ATV cameras during a 3–2 win at Walsall a fortnight later. He had an excellent start to life at Loakes Park, reaching the first round proper of the FA Cup, the final of the Isthmian League Cup and winning the first silverware of his career as the Chairboys cruised to the 1982–83 Premier Division title. He was a regular pick during a five-year spell with the club and in the 1988–89 season was part of the team which won the Kent Senior Cup and finished top of the renamed Football Conference, which secured promotion to the Football League for the first time in the club's history. Given the captain's armband, Hill remained with the Rebels until the end of the 1991–92 season and made 93 appearances for the club, scoring three goals. He made 64 appearances and scored one goal during two mid-table seasons for the club.

Later years Hill ended his career with spells at Isthmian League clubs Wealdstone and Walton & Hersham. He served Walton & Hersham in, at different times, the roles of player, assistant manager and joint-caretaker manager.

Personal life Hill spent 12 years working for Akai and as of 2012, had spent the previous 17 years working for LG Electronics in Slough, Berkshire. As of 2014, his son Lucas was a member of Wycombe Wanderers' development centre.
