Neil Danns Biography

Neil Danns is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on November 23, 1982 in Liverpool, England, United Kingdom. Neil Alexander Danns, born 23 November 1982, is a professional footballer. He plays as a midfielder at League One club Tranmere Rotors and the Guyana national soccer team. In 2000, he was a Blackburn Rovers trainee. He later played for Colchester United and Birmingham City. After Bury were kicked out of the Football League, he was granted free agency and joined Tranmere from September 2019 to the end.

It was anticipated that Danns would be loaned to get first-team experience ahead of the 2003-04 season. On 4 August, Danns joined Second Division club Blackpool on a one-month loan period. Later, this loan period was extended to three-months. He played in the Second Division’s opening match, which was a 5-0 loss to Queens Park Rangers. He was sent off the following match, receiving a second yellow for timewasting at the end of Wycombe Wanderers’ 3-2 win. Blackpool’s first goal, “[hitting] 40 yards (37m)” was his goal. It marked the beginning of Blackpool’s comeback. On September 20, he was again sent off against Stockport County. He scored his second Blackpool goal, “rounding out the keeper and striking sweet left-foot shots into the far corner and between two defenders on both sides”. This resulted in a 2-1 win for Notts County. Both Jonathan Douglas, a Blackburn loanee, and Steve McMahon, the manager, wanted them to leave Blackpool after three months.

Danns “ran his heart out” for the 16 minutes of what proved to be his final appearance for Blackburn Rovers in a 4–3 loss against Bolton Wanderers on 10 January 2004. In March, he joined another Second Division club, Hartlepool United, on a one-month loan, later extended to the end of the season, and as he had with Blackpool, he made his debut in a heavy defeat to Queens Park Rangers. He established himself as a regular in the side, scored the winning goal away to Wrexham in April, and helped Hartlepool reach the play-offs. Danns played in both legs of the semi-final, in which they lost 3–2 on aggregate to Bristol City, having been 2–1 ahead with three minutes plus stoppage time to go.

Danns scored against Gillingham in the opening fixture of the 2005–06 season, but his team lost 2–1. He missed most of September with an abdominal injury, and took time to return to full fitness, but a run of goals in January, including two against Derby County to take his side through to the FA Cup fifth round, sparked interest from higher-level teams. However, Danns claimed that the progress Colchester were making allowed him to develop without needing to leave – 13 years later, he expressed his gratitude to the club for giving him the opportunity to shine – and that facing Chelsea in a televised FA Cup-tie “could be the start of another big opportunity”. He “kept Colchester ticking” as they came close to earning a replay, and played a major part in his team’s promotion to the second tier of English football for the first time in their history. His performances were recognised with a place in the PFA League One Team of the Year.

On 19 September 2002, manager Graeme Souness made Danns a surprise debut in the starting eleven of the 1-1 draw against CSKA Sofia in UEFA Cup. According to the Lancashire Evening Telegraph he “didn’t let anyone down with a vibrant performance”. Three days later, he made his Premier League debut as a late replacement in the 1-0 win over Leeds United. He went on to make six appearances across all competitions during the 2002-03 season.

Danns scored in a 2–2 draw with Barbados in a 2019–20 CONCACAF Nations League qualifier, which doubled as a qualifying tournament for the CONCACAF Gold Cup. He captained the national side and scored their goal in a 2–1 defeat to French Guiana on 20 November that put them out of contention for Gold Cup qualification. However, CONCACAF awarded Guyana a 3–0 win against Barbados, who had fielded ineligible players, which meant that beating Belize in the final qualifier would be enough to see Guyana through to the Gold Cup for the first time in their history. Danns scored the opening goal from the penalty spot, and later missed a second penalty, as Guyana won 2–1.
