Kevin Pilkington : biography

8 March 1974 –

Kevin William Pilkington (born 8 March 1974) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for League One side Notts County, where he also acts as the club’s goalkeeping coach.

As a player, noted for his shot stopping abilities, Pilkington played Premier League football for Manchester United before dropping down to the Football League, where he played in nearly 350 games in his time at Mansfield Town and Notts County, helping Mansfield win promotion out of the Third Division in 2001–02. He spent five years with Mansfield and then another five years with Notts County; at both clubs he was usually the first choice keeper, rather than a back-up keeper as he was at most other clubs. He has also represented Rochdale, Rotherham United, Celtic, Port Vale, Aberystwyth Town, Wigan Athletic and Luton Town.
