Steve Howey (footballer)

At first he was playing in the striker position for the youth and reserve teams until Ossie Ardiles conceived the idea of moving him from the attack back into the defence.Howey remained at Man City the following season as part of the team which secured an immediate return to the Premier League as First Division champions.[12][14] In March 2005, Howey signed with Hartlepool United on a short-term contract,[15] where a final appearance brought down the curtain on his sixteen-year professional career.[16] Howey had a short, unsuccessful spell as manager of Crook Town, taking the helm in September 2006 and resigning just two months later after a poor run of results.[25] In December 2024, 53-year-old Howey made public that medical tests had proven that his brain was in cognitive decline, which he attributed to heading footballs.He was one of four Premier League-era footballers who took legal action over sporting authorities, along with the family of deceased former player and manager Joe Kinear.
