Graham Winstanley (born 20 January 1948) is an English former professional footballer who made 270 Football League appearances playing as a central defender for Newcastle United, Carlisle United and Brighton & Hove Albion.[1][2]

Life and career

[edit]

Winstanley was born in 1948 in Croxdale, County Durham.[1] He began his football career with Newcastle United of the First Division, but was unable to force his way into the first team,[3] and dropped down a division ahead of the 1969–70 season to join Carlisle United for an £8,000 fee. He remained with Carlisle for five years, and was a member of the team that gained promotion to the First Division in 1974. He played little at the higher level, and moved on to third-tier club Brighton & Hove Albion in October 1974 on loan, made permanent a month later for a fee of £20,000.[4][5] He helped the team avoid relegation in 1975, and was named club captain for the coming season. He then broke his nose and found it difficult to regain his first-team place as the team gained two promotions in three seasons. He made 64 league appearances over four-and-a-half years before returning to Carlisle United, by then back in the Third Division, for one more season.[4] After two years on the club's coaching staff, he joined Penrith, first as player and then as manager.[4][6] He remained living and working in Carlisle.[4][7]
