Derek Lilley Biography

Derek Lilley is one of the most popular and richest Scottish footballer who was born on February 9, 1974 in Paisley, Scotland, United Kingdom. Derek Symon Lilley (born 9 February 1974) is a Scottish former footballer who was striker for various club across Scotland in Scotland and England.

As of 2000 Lilley came back to Scotland together with Dundee United, playing with them, Livingston, Morton again and St. Johnstone, Stirling Albion and lastly Forfar Athletic.

Lilley returned to first club Morton for 2005–06 and managed twelve league goals as Morton narrowly lost in the play-off semi-finals. In 2006–07, he had managed four league goals by the turn of the year.

On 26 January 2007, his contract was terminated by Morton, and he signed for St. Johnstone. After making fourteen appearances for Saints (all as a substitute), Lilley was released by the club at the end of the season. On 7 June 2007, Lilley signed for newly promoted First Division side Stirling Albion. Lilley only played a handful of games for Stirling Albion before being released at the end of the season.

The move of the month of December saw him move towards the north of United and his first goal earned him a point when he played at home to Rangers but he was to get sent off in the second game of his career against the club he played for at one time, Hearts. It was ultimately Lilley’s final-minute goal in the game against St Johnstone which saved United from being relegated and his six goals in the mid-season will cement his place in the hearts of the crowd. In the following year, Lilley would manage just six goals, despite scoring a triple at St Johnstone and only two goals for the league in 2002-03 signalled that the conclusion of his career at Tannadice.

Lilley began his career at Greenock Morton and won a transfer towards English Premier League club Leeds United in 1997. The time he spent with Elland Road was frustrating, with just four games from 21 appearances , and only one single goal in his replacement of Lee Bowyer to score the winner in a 3-2 win away at Barnsley. He was in loan, in Heart of Midlothian and Bury which he scored one goal for each club. His goal for Hearts was scored in a loss of 2-1 to Dundee while his goal at Bury came in the crucial win of 1-0 over Oxford United.

A transfer from Oxford United in 1999-00 helped get him started and his returning of nine goals from 63 games prompted interest from Dundee United.

A move to Livingston followed in 2003–04 and a rejuvenated Lilley scored 12 league goals, plus four in the Scottish League Cup – including the winning goal in the semi-final against Dundee and one in the final win against Hibernian – and a hat-trick in the Scottish Cup against Spartans. This earned him the nickname of “The Goal Machine.” 2004–05 was a different story, however and Lilley’s three goals were not enough to earn him a new contract.
