* Professional club appearances and goals |
Nigel Jemson, (born 10 August 1969) was an English footballer, who represented his country at Under-21 level and who currently manages Ilkeston Town.
He played for a total of 12 English league clubs and one Scottish league club during his career, rarely lasting more than a season at each club.
Arguably the highlight of his career was the goal he scored in the 1990 League Cup Final for Nottingham Forest against Oldham Athletic. It turned out to be the winner being the only goal of the game.
Jemson also gained national fame after scoring the goals that knocked Everton out of the FA Cup during his time at Shrewsbury. He put the Shrews into a first half lead with a stunning free kick, and after Niclas Alexandersson had equalised for Everton, he glanced a last minute header past Richard Wright to give Shrewsbury a famous victory and one of the all-time greatest FA Cup giant-killings.
