David John Court (born 1 March 1944) is an English former footballer, now turned coach.
He made his first-team debut against Aston Villa on 10 September 1962, in a 2–1 defeat and went on to make fourteen league appearances over the next two seasons.
However, 1968–69 saw him return as a first-team regular – he played 51 matches that season, including Arsenal's' League Cup Final loss to Swindon Town at Wembley Stadium.
He continued to be a regular in 1969–70, until he suffered injury midway through, and as a result he missed both legs of Arsenal's' Inter-Cities Fairs Cup final triumph that season.
[citation needed] After retiring from football, he worked in the financial sector, before returning to Arsenal in 1996 as Assistant Head of Youth Development, alongside Liam Brady, and has remained in the job since.
