Kevin Pilkington Biography

Kevin Pilkington is one of the most popular and richest Soccer Player who was born on March 8, 1974 in Hitchin, England, United Kingdom. Goalkeeper who made his professional debut in 1992 with Manchester United and played for Notts County from 2005 to 2010.

Defender Bobby Hassell was his teammate on Mansfield Town.

Kevin William Pilkington (born 8 March 1974) is an English former professional footballer who is now the goalkeeping coach at Barnsley.

Pilkington started his footballing career at Manchester United, signing after he was scouted playing non-league football for Harrowby United. He featured in their FA Youth Cup triumph in 1992, after which he signed a professional contract. He found himself to be the third choice behind Peter Schmeichel and one of Gary Walsh, Tony Coton or Raimond van der Gouw, and although he was selected as an unused substitute in their two goalless draws with Russian side Torpedo Moscow in the 1992–93 UEFA Cup, he did not play a first team game until 16 November 1994, when he appeared as a substitute for the injured Peter Schmeichel in a 3–0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on 16 November 1994. However, manager Alex Ferguson decided to select Walsh as goalkeeper for the 10 league games in which Schmeichel was absent, meaning that Pilkington was on the substitutes bench in each of these games, and back in the reserves once Schmeichel returned to fitness and Walsh returned to the bench. Pilkington won the Denzil Haroun Reserve Team Player of the Year award for the 1994–95 season.

He was born in Hitchin, England.

In his first season at Meadow Lane, he played 48 games. In a difficult season, the experienced keeper helped the “Magpies” defence to compensate for their woeful scoring record. A clean sheet kept against Oxford United on 18 March proved vital as Oxford finished 23rd, three points behind County. Had Pilkington conceded a goal that day then it eventually would have been Notts County who would have lost their Football League status for the first time in the league’s history. He dislocated a shoulder in April, which caused him to miss the last games of the season.
