David Stephen Cusack (born 6 June 1956) is an English former footballer and manager whose last position before retirement in 2015 was director of Essex Senior League club Basildon United.
[2] Cusack began his career with Sheffield Wednesday, making his way through the club's youth system and also captaining the reserve side.
After making 95 league appearances for the side, he moved to Southend United in 1978 for a then club record £50,000, where he would win the Fourth Division championship in 1981.
Cusack took over at Rotherham United with the Millers in mid-table, but left in April and a slide down the league led to a promotion/relegation play-off with Swansea City which was lost.
In 1992, he spent a short spell as manager of Kettering Town but, with the club in financial turmoil, Cusack was sacked following the appointment of new owners after taking charge of just seven games.
