Paul Malcolm Adcock (born May 2, 1972 in Ilminster ) is a former English football player .
Career
Adcock went through the youth area of Plymouth Argyle and made his competitive debut under David Kemp in September 1990 in the second-rate Football League Second Division . The short striker remained - after 15 appearances in his debut season - in the 1991/92 season without an assignment. Under Kemp's successor, the former world-class goalkeeper Peter Shilton , he scored his first two goals in the professional field, but did not get beyond the role as a supplementary player and received no new contract at the end of the 1992/93 season .
For the 1993/94 season he joined the fifth division Bath City , for which he acted extremely successfully, especially in his first season. Already in his first league game against Macclesfield Town he scored a hat trick , during the season he scored a total of 23 goals (17 of them in the league) and was Bath City's top scorer. The FA Cup that season also caused a sensation. After a win over the higher-class participant Hereford United , a goalless draw forced the second division Stoke City into a replay in the third round, which was lost 4-1 in front of over 6,000 spectators in Twerton Park . In three years he played a total of 124 competitive games and scored 40 goals (including 96 games / 31 goals in the Conference National) and won the Somerset Premier Cup twice with the club .
Although he could not continue his form at Bath City from the first season, he got in preparation for the 1996/97 season the opportunity to prove himself at the fourth division Torquay United , where he knew manager Kevin Hodges from his time at Plymouth. Adcock received a short-term contract, but only came on two short appearances as a substitute at the beginning of the season, the competition in the storm for Rodney Jack and Paul Baker turned out to be too strong for Adcock, who was also hampered by injuries. He therefore received no further contract in October. Garry Nelson , at the time the club’s player co-trainer, noted this in his diary-like work Left Foot in the Grave? , which documented Torquay's 1996/97 season:
"Hardworking, honest, a dedicated footballer, adders is a smashing lad. And unlucky. It's a series of niggly injuries and, when he did play, a few costly missed 'not by much' chances that condemn him to pick up his boots and walk. "
After a brief interlude back at Bath City, he left national football with his move to Gloucester City in the Southern League in November 1996 . There he was used in 50 competitive games (9 goals) by the summer of 1998, before ending his career at the local level at Baldock Town , Saltash United , Tavistock FC and Bodmin Town .
