societies

Leeds United

John Sheridan spent his youth at his hometown club Manchester City , but moved to Leeds United at the age of 17 without playing a competitive game for his youth club. He made his debut for Leeds on November 20, 1982 in a second division match against Middlesbrough FC . Sheridan scored two goals in 27 league games during the 1982/83 season, finished eighth with Leeds and remained in the second division. He experienced his best season for the club from Leeds in the 1986/87 season, when United reached fourth place and also only failed in the semi-finals of the FA Cup with 2: 3 after extra time at the eventual titleholder Coventry City . Sheridan scored 15 goals in the league, but even he could not prevent the failure in the play-off round against Charlton Athletic . After two more years he decided to change clubs and went to Nottingham Forest for £ 650,000 .

Sheffield Wednesday

Forest has been trained very successfully by Brian Clough since 1975 and was one of the top teams in the First Division. Sheridan came in the first few months for only one use in the League Cup and moved to Sheffield Wednesday on November 3, 1989 . There he got off to a bad start and rose in the 1989/90 season with his new club in the second division. However, the team quickly recovered from this setback and managed the direct rise as third in the table behind Oldham Athletic and West Ham United . To top this successful season, the Owls won the League Cup title in 1990/91 by beating Manchester United 1-0 . John Sheridan managed the decisive goal against Alex Ferguson's team .

Before the start of the new season in the Football League First Division 1991/92 Trevor Francis took over the coaching post from Ron Atkinson , who coached Aston Villa in the future . Wednesday also had a very good season under the new coach and took third place. The following year led to seventh place and in the 1992/93 UEFA Cup , the club did not act as hoped with the end in the second round. But the team managed to get into the finals of the FA Cup and the League Cup in 1993. Both games were lost to Arsenal FC, trained by George Graham . After he was not considered as hoped under the new coach David Pleat almost three years later , he initially moved to Birmingham City and the Bolton Wanderers on short notice . On November 13, 1996, after six successful years in Sheffield, he went to second division side Bolton Wanderers for £ 180,000.

Bolton Wanderers

Sheridan reached with his new team in the course of the 1996/97 season as the first in the table to climb into the Premier League. However, the club initially only spent a year there and rose from the Premier League in 1997/98 as third- bottom . After a short time at the lower class club Doncaster Rovers , he went to Oldham Athletic in 1998 . There he played in the third division until 2004, before ending his playing career at the age of 40.

Irish national team

John Sheridan played 34 international matches for the Irish national football team between 1988 and 1995 , scoring five goals. He was in the national team for the European Football Championship in Germany in 1988 , but was not used there. Things went better at the 1994 World Cup in the USA, when Sheridan was used in all four games. He had previously come on for a substitute at the 1990 World Cup in Italy.

Coaching career

After he had already helped out as a player-coach, John Sheridan took over the coaching position at Oldham Athletic in 2006 . In the 2006/07 season he reached sixth place with his team in the Football League One and only missed promotion to the second division in the play-offs. In March 2009 he was released in Oldham, then he took over the coaching position at fourth division Chesterfield FC in June 2009 . In his second season, he led Chesterfield to the championship in Football League Two and made promotion to the third division. After relegation from Football League One 2011/12 , Sheridan was released on August 28, 2012.

On January 6, 2013 he was introduced as the new coach of the fourth division club Plymouth Argyle . After a tenth place in the table in the first season, Sheridan led his team in the 2014/15 season as a table seventh in the play-offs, but failed there prematurely at fourth in the table Wycombe Wanderers . At the end of the season, the club announced the separation from the coach by mutual agreement.

In October 2015 John Sheridan took over the vacant coaching position of the fourth division AFC Newport County , which he left after 3 months to coach his former club Oldham Athletic .
