[edit] Playing career

Born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, Penney entered professional football at the relatively late age of 21. He had been working as a bricklayer and playing for nothing at Pontefract Collieries for 5 years before he was spotted by Derby County scout Ron Jukes, who recommended him to manager Arthur Cox. He was offered a contract at the then Third Division club and they climbed two divisions before he left for Oxford United for £175,000. He then went on to Wales, where he played for Swansea City and Cardiff City. After a while Penney decided he wanted to go back up North, so he joined Doncaster Rovers in 1998.

[edit] Managerial career

In 2002 Penney hung up his boots to pursue a career in management and he remained at Doncaster taking the managerial job on a full-time basis. After a well-placed finish in his first season, Penney guided Doncaster back into the Football League with victory in the play-off final in the 2002–03 season. Their stay in Division Three wasn't long though as he managed Doncaster to the Division Three title. During a further two seasons of cementing Doncaster's place in Coca-Cola League One Penney famously masterminded victories over Premier League sides Manchester City and Aston Villa, and nearly overcame Arsenal in the Carling Cup quarter-finals before finally being beaten in a penalty shootout. Penney left Rovers on 30 August 2006 as he felt he had taken the club as far as he could. He was shortly appointed manager of Darlington on 30 October 2006, but he returned to Doncaster with Darlington for a Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie on 9 January 2007. Doncaster won the game 2-0 and Penney received a hero's reception from the home fans at the new Keepmoat Stadium.

On 30 April 2009, Penney resigned from Darlington and was appointed as manager of Oldham Athletic.^[1]

Penney's son, Mark Penney, is a semi-professional footballer, with his clubs including Glasshoughton Welfare.^[2]
