Steve Evans (born October 30, 1962) is a former professional footballer from Glasgow, Scotland. He is the manager of Boston United Football Club.
Evans was originally appointed manager of Boston United in October 1998 after a spell with Stamford.[2] He got Boston United promoted from the Dr Martens League to the Nationwide Conference in 2000 and subsequently to the football league in 2002. (Both promotions have since been over-shadowed by revelations of off-the-field cheating).[3]
Evans was sacked after a much publicised FA investigation. He was also suspended from the game for 20 months for involvement of the affairs of Boston United, in which players contracts lodged with the FA contained false salary details. He was further accused of impeding the inquiry and fined £8,000.[3]
Evans returned as Boston United's manager in 2004.[3]
After pleading guilty to conspiracy to evade tax, on November 3, 2006 Evans received a one-year suspended sentence and a £1000 fine.[4] Despite these events, Evans kept his manager's position at Boston United).[3]
Before being a manager, Evans played professional football for Bolton Wanderers, Clyde, Albion Rovers, Ayr United, Hamilton Academical and St Johnstone until a knee ligament injury ended his playing career at 28.[1]
