Dean Windass At Coventry Sphinx Tomorrow

Last updated : 20 February 2015 By Covsupport News Service
Coventry Sphinx FC present a Gentleman's Evening with Dean Windass on Saturday February 21st.

Dean Windass was born on April 1st 1969 so its no surprise he was always the joker in the pack! He is best known for his spells at Bradford City and contributing to his hometown team Hull City's promotion to the Premier League in 2008.

Dean started his football career as a trainee at his hometown club, Hull City, and signed his first professional contract there. He scored 64 goals in 205 games for Hull, and, when he left, he brought the club a record transfer fee at the time, going on to play in the top divisions in both English and Scottish football. Later in his career, he returned to Hull City, and scored the only goal of the 2008 Football League Championship play-off final to take them to the top flight for the first time in their history.

He also had two spells at Bradford City, where he became the club's third-highest scorer of all time. He has also played for Aberdeen, Oxford United, Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday, Sheffield United, and Oldham Athletic. He is seen as a controversial player, once being sent off three times in a game for Aberdeen, as well as grabbing another opponent's testicles in a match at Bradford City.

Dean scored his last Premier League goal at the age of 39, becoming Hull City's oldest-ever scorer. He officially announced his retirement from the game on 19 October 2009 but has kept playing at a local level since.

Dean still intends to move into a coaching / managerial role and is regularly touted as prime candidate within many clubs.

Tickets are £20pp with tables of 10/12 available.

The night will be compared by comedian Dean Emmett.

Bar is open from 6.00pm with the entertainment starting at 7.30pm. Be quick as these nights are always a sell out.

Tickets are available from the club on a first come first served basis
