Playing Career
Born in Hillingdon, London, Brown joined Hayes from local football as a 19 year-old and made his debut against Enfield Town in April 1971. He became a regular during the next season, and got a taste for the big occasion as a member of the team which first defeated Football League opposition in Bristol Rovers. He caught the attention of scouts from Fulham and Millwall, and was selected for the FA Amateur XI. After two seasons, he joined Sutton United briefly and then moved to Slough Town, before rejoining Hayes in August 1977, where he stayed until October 1979. In both spells he made a total of 148 appearances, and scored 45 goals. He left for Wokingham Town, where he played well into the 1980s.
