  • Steve Guinan (born 24 December 1975 in Birmingham) is an English footballer who plays for Hereford United. He is in his third spell with the club having originally played for them between 2002 and 2004, and also enjoying a successful loan spell in the latter half of the 2006-07 season. Steve started his career as a trainee at Nottingham Forest and, despite showing great promise, only appeared in seven first team matches in a near seven year spell at the City Ground. He was loaned out to a succession of clubs with varying degrees of success, he became a favourite at Plymouth Argyle in 1999 when he scored seven goals in eleven league matches. He scored on his debut for Scunthorpe United but his loan spell reportedly ended with manager Brian Laws relieving him of his tracksuit in the club car park. He left Forest and signed for Cambridge United three days after his 24th birthday in December 1999. However three months later he was sacked after a food fight at an official club dinner and returned to Plymouth in March 2000. However by August 2001 he had been frozen out at Home Park by manager Paul Sturrock, despite being contracted to the end of the season. Steve ended up training with Exeter but was unable to sign for them due to a transfer embargo, and he signed for Shrewsbury Town in March 2002. Guinan joined Hereford United in the summer of 2002 and enjoyed two successful seasons with the Conference side where he was top goalscorer in both seasons. In his first season he became the first Hereford player to score a hat-trick at Edgar Street for six years, in a 4-0 win over Barnet The following season saw him named Player of the Round after hitting a hat-trick in a 6-1 win over Harrow Borough in the Fourth Qualifying Round. Guinan, a Liverpool fan, was also invited to make the draw for the Fourth Round alongside Ian Rush. Guinan was an integral part of the side that finished one point behind Chester City in a record-breaking season, scoring 29 goals in 41 appearances. After Hereford's defeat in the play-offs he was one of several players who signed for Football League clubs, joining Cheltenham Town. Guinan scored 7 goals in 47 appearances in his first season at Whaddon Road as Cheltenham finished 14th in League Two. His most notable Cheltenham moment came in his second season when he scored the winner in the League Two play-off final against Grimsby Town. Picking up the ball on the corner of the penalty area he sent a curling left-footed cross towards Kayode Odejayi. However the cross evaded everyone and went into the bottom corner, sending Cheltenham into League One. Guinan later admitted that his goal was actually a cross and he hadn't meant to score. Guinan's third season at Cheltenham was less successful, scoring just one goal in the League Cup against Bristol City, and was transfer listed. He subsequently returned to Hereford United, now in League Two, on loan and scored twice in his first match against Notts County. (en)
