David Young Agnew (born August 4, 1939 in Kilwinning ) is a former Scottish football player and coach.

Career

Agnew is said to have played for a club called Saxone FC in his youth before joining Leicester City , where he rose to professional in 1958. There, the left defender did not go beyond missions in the reserve team in the following years and joined the second division Scunthorpe United for the 1961/62 season . As a replacement behind the regular left-back Jack Brownsword , Agnew only came to the season opener against Brighton & Hove Albion (final score 3: 3). For the following season he joined the third division Notts County . There he was used in his first season on the first four match days, after only one win from the four games, but Tony Bircumshaw was preferred and Agnew was not included in the rest of the season. In the 1963/64 season he was under player-coach Eddie Lowe in more than half of the league games - mostly he formed the defender pair with Bircumshaw - but the team ended the season as a knocked-down table and was relegated to the fourth division . In 1965 he was allowed to leave the club free of charge, but ultimately he remained loyal to the club for two more years, but at the same time worked for the club as a carpenter if necessary. After he had only come to two missions at the beginning of the season in the 1966/67 season, he left the club in the summer of 1967 after a total of 91 competitive appearances in five years.

In May 1967, the Southern League club Nuneaton Borough showed interest in a commitment and Agnew played in a charity game, but ultimately joined the Midland League club Ilkeston Town , where he took over the post of player-coach. At Ilkeston Town he wore the captain's armband for four years and led the club to the league championship in its first season. After suffering an ankle injury in January 1971, he ended his footballing career after 154 goalless competitive games at the end of the season, but continued to work as a coach when the club was accepted into the Southern League for the 1971/72 season. After some negative results, the coach, unpopular with the fans because of his more defensive style of play, left Ilkeston at the end of November 1971 and subsequently took over the position of coach at Long Eaton Grange .
