Roger Preece (born 9 June 1968, Much Wenlock, Shropshire) was an English professional footballer who mainly played as a midfielder but could also play as a full back. He played in The Football League for three clubs and has also played and managed in non–league football. ==Playing and Coaching Career== Preece began his playing days as an apprentice with Coventry City, but in August 1986 he moved to Wrexham. He made more than 100 Football League appearances over the next four years but suffered from a poor disciplinary record, as he was sent off five times.〔Sumner (1997), p.108〕 In the summer of 1990 he was released by Wrexham and switched to local rivals Chester City, who were a division higher in the Football League Third Division. He began his Chester days at full back but went on to make his greatest mark as a midfielder.〔 He helped Chester win promotion from Division Three in 1993–94, with Preece scoring in the promotion clincher against Hereford United on 23 April 1994.〔Sumner (1997), p.117〕 He was named player of the season the following campaign.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Club Records: Player of the Season )〕 Unfortunately, Preece was to play just one more game for the club as a clattering tackle from Hartlepool United's Mick Tait〔Sumner (1997), p.121〕 on the opening day of 1995–96 ruled him out of action for the remainder of the season. He eventually left the club in October 1996 after failing to recover,〔Sumner (1997), p.122〕 spending the remainder of the season with GM Vauxhall Conference sides Southport and Telford United. In June 1997 Preece returned to The Football League as player–coach with Shrewsbury Town.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Jolly Roger )〕 In 2000 he teamed up again with boss Jake King at Telford United, where the pair worked together until Preece became Newtown manager in June 2003. He remained in charge until October 2006, leaving after a 6–0 loss to Rhyl. Preece is now a coach with Wrexham based side Gap Queens Park,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= First team coaching staff )〕 as well as with Wrexham's centre of excellence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Centre of excellence – the story to date )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roger Preece」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
