Chris Turner
Chris Turner is an Engish football manager. He is currently manager of Stockport County. His last job prior to joining County was as manager of Sheffield Wednesday, where he was appointed in November 2002 and sacked at 6.00 pm on September 18th 2004 following a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth at home.
Born in Sheffield, he made 205 appearances for Wednesday as goalkeeper between 1976 and 1979, and 1988 and 1991. In between these two spells at Hillsborough, he played for Sunderland and Manchester United. He is a confirmed lifelong Wednesday fan.
Turner is one of relatively few former goalkeepers to make the leap into football management. He started his coaching career at Leyton Orient, before moving to Leicester City and later Wolves, where he was appointed youth team coach. His first managerial position came at Hartlepool United in 1999.
