Brian Tinnion
Brian Tinnion (born February 23, 1968) is a British footballer and manager. He has been player-manager of Bristol City F.C. since June 5, 2004.
Tinnion was born in Stanley, County Durham in 1968 and was recruited by Newcastle United as an apprentice, becoming a professional a few days after his eighteenth birthday in 1986. He played 30 league games in his three seasons with the Magpies before being sold to Bradford City for £150,000 in 1989. In 1993 he moved on to Bristol City for £180,000; early the following year he scored the winning goal in City's giant-killing FA Cup win over Liverpool at Anfield. He went on to become one of City's dominant players of the 1990s, as a left-sided or central midfielder. He became player-coach in 2000 and succeeded Danny Wilson as manager in 2004.
