Steve Beeks

He made a significant number of appearances in their Isthmian, Suburban and Allied Counties Leagues sides during the '87/8 campaign and received their Billy King Most Improved Player trophy.

At the end of season 88/89 Beeks signed another one-year contract: he only made two more Football League appearances but was a regular in the 1st team squad.

A highlight of the season was scoring twice against Arsenal in a reserve team fixture, and being involved in Aldershot's FA Cup run which ended in a defeat by West Ham United in a 3rd Round replay, before his release in May '91.

[1] Beeks next signed for Isthmian Premier Sutton United, where he played the first half of season 1991/2, scoring on his debut in a 1–0 win over Martin O'Neill's Wycombe Wanderers F.C.

Beeks would remain at Staines until Dec '96, amassing 299 First Team appearances and scoring 80 goals, including netting 31 penalties for the Swans.

[3] He then signed for Isthmian Premier side Basingstoke Town, before unexpectedly securing a deadline day March '99 move to Alan Devonshire's Maidenhead United, for whom his extra time goal helped to defeat Wycombe Wanderers and lift the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup.

Another highlight of his two seasons there was knocking Bognor Regis Town out of the FA Cup, followed by a narrow loss in a replay to Lewes.

Beeks left Cove in Sept '01, and a couple of months later accepted a similar post at Fleet Town, who had made a poor start in the Wessex League.

He left Fleet in the wake of budget cuts early the next season, and signed as a player for Winchester City, who romped the Hampshire League (181 goals, 109 points), reached the FA Vase quarter-finals, and lifted the Southampton Senior Cup at St Mary's Stadium.

Beeks started the 2003/4 season playing at Conference club Farnborough Town, but having regained fitness and reached the brink of a 1st Team call, he accepted the offer to manage Molesey.

In late 2010 Beeks was appointed head coach of Åland United, a professional team in the Naisten Liiga, the top division of women's football in Finland.

In February 2018 he completed the UEFA Pro Licence: his tutor was the Finnish national men's team Head Coach Markku Kanerva.
