After Dinner Football Speaker on his way to Old Trafford
After Dinner Football Speaker Steve Kindon will be providing the enetertainment on Thursday 26th May at Old Trafford when the NES Group have their end of season "Fantassy Football League" presentations. One of the genuine "characters" of football, Steve Kindon is a great raconteur whose contribution to any dinner is guaranteed to have the audience rolling with laughter.After starring in Burnley's FA Youth Cup run of 1967-68, Steve Kindon became the first member of the Clarets victorious Youth Cup side to establish himself in the First Division. He scored on his Turf Moor debut in a 3-1 victory over West Ham Utd, and after winning Youth international honours, he was ever-present in Burnley's First Division side of 1969-70, top-scoring with 17 goals. After the Lancashire club were relegated in 1971, Kindon was unable to sustain the form that his speed and talent warranted. He joined Wolves for a fee of £100,000 in the summer of 1972 and scored on his debut in a 2-1 defeat at Newcastle Utd on the opening day of the 1972-73 season. However, it took him a while to settle down in the Midlands and he only appeared briefly in the club's successful League Cup run in 1973-74, missing out on the final ed straight back as Second Division Champions the following season with Kindon playing his part. He had scored 31 goals in 167 games for Wolves when he returned to Burnley in November 1977 for £80,000. He spent two more seasons at Turf Moor taking his goal tally to 58 in 225 games before joining Huddersfield Town where a knee injury ended his career.
