Steve Holder
Former Nott's County Player
Position: Trainer
Jul 1982-Sep 1983
Born: Nottingham, 21/04/1952
Steve Holder, who joined Ilkeston from Long Eaton United where he was manager, built a useful team in his first season in charge. Adding some quality players to the squad the signs were brighter at Ilkeston than for some time. The team won the Derbyshire Senior Cup for the first time in 20 years and more impressively they reached the last 16 of the FA Trophy beating some bigger clubs along the way including Conference clubs Stafford Rangers and Barnet before losing to Enfield. However, form in the Northern Counties East League, newly created following the demise of the Midland Counties and Yorkshire Leagues, was frustratingly inconsistent. The team was expected to build on the promise of the 1982/83 season but a poor start to the new season led to Holder's dismissal. As a player he was a winger and at just 5'2" tall is believed to be Notts County's shortest ever player. He made one League appearance for The Magpies before joining Corby Town and from there he went on to Long Eaton where he subsequently became manager. His record as Ilkeston manager read:
played 59, won 21, drawn 15, lost 23, for 86, against 106.
Joined Southchurch in 2007 with paul farmer, first season they won 2 cup competition's beating calverton mw & cotgrave and finished 3rd in the notts youth league Div2 to gain promotion, they continue to run the first team finishing 4th this season with the U18's
