Brian Talbot Biography

Brian Talbot is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on July 21, 1953 in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. Brian Ernest Talbot (born 21 July 1953) is an English former player on the football field and manager. He was selected six times by his country’s England National team.

Between 1984 until the year 1988 Talbot chaired the Pro Footballers Association from 1984 to 1988.

Talbot’s managerial debut came with West Bromwich Albion, where he served as player-manager from February 1989 to January 1991. His tenure started well, with the side challenging for promotion. But a collapse during the final weeks of the 1988–89 season meant they failed even to qualify for the playoffs. The following season saw the team only narrowly survive in the Second Division, and the struggle continued into the 1990–91 season. Talbot was dismissed by Albion after a 4–2 FA Cup defeat at the hands of non-league Woking; the team ended the season with relegation to the Third Division for the first time ever. After leaving Albion, he joined Fulham and played five times in the Third Division, scoring once, before being appointed player-manager of Fourth Division strugglers Aldershot, who were deep in debt. After a dismal start to the 1991–92 season, Talbot left the Shots in November 1991 and was succeeded by Ian McDonald; four months later the club went bust and were forced out of the Football League. Talbot then led Maltese Premier League club Hibernians to the league title in 1993 and 1994.

He returned to English club football as part of the coaching staff of Rushden and Diamonds, then in the Football Conference, in 1997. After a spell as head coach he was appointed club manager before the start of the 1999–2000 season. At the end of the 2000–01 season Rushden secured promotion to the Football League under his management. The team reached the Division Three playoffs in 2002 but lost in the final. In their second season in the League they secured the 2002–03 Division Three title, but were relegated the following season, Talbot having left the club in March 2004 after seven years to take over at Oldham Athletic.

Then, in January of 1979 Talbot was transferred to Arsenal for the sum of $450,000. He was immediately enrolled in Arsenal’s first squad and was a part of the Gunners in the FA Cup final, scoring in a 3-2 win over Manchester United, the first player in nearly 100 years be the winner of the FA Cup with two different teams in two consecutive seasons. In the following year, he set the club record for wins, and was an Arsenal player who was always present during the marathon 70-match 1979-80 season. The team made it to an end of the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners’ Trophy, however, they lost both.
