[edit] Career

Still joined Leyton Orient as a junior, signing as an amateur for them in May 1967. He made his league debut the following season, but that was his only league appearance and he moved into non-league football with Bishop's Stortford, Ilford and Dagenham. His playing career was cut short by a knee injury and he began coaching.

His first managerial job came with Leytonstone who subsequently merged with Ilford to become Leytonstone & Ilford who he took to their first Isthmian League title. He later managed Dartford where he won the Southern League title before returning to Leytonstone & Ilford.

His next post was at Maidstone United who he guided to the Conference title and promotion to the Football League in 1989. Still resigned soon after, having no desire to go full-time and moved to Redbridge Forest who had been formed in 1990 by a merger of his former club Leytonstone & Ilford and Walthamstow Avenue. He guided Redbridge to the Isthmian League title and with it promotion to the Conference, remaining with the side as it merged with Dagenham to become Dagenham & Redbridge.

In August 1994 he took over as manager of Peterborough United, but left in October 1995. He subsequently coached Lincoln City before taking over as manager of Barnet in June 1997.

At Barnet he twice took the side to the Division Three play-offs, but in November 2000 became Director of Football after the appointment of Tony Cottee as manager. At the time, Barnet were riding high in Division Three, but suffered a dramatic loss of form and plunged down the table. In February 2002 Cottee left and Still returned as manager, but was unable to prevent Barnet's relegation from the Football League, a 3-2 defeat at home to Torquay United on the final day of the season sealing their fate. He remained as manager at Barnet until February 2002 when he resigned.

He was subsequently assistant manager of Bristol Rovers until January 2004, taking over as manager of Dagenham & Redbridge in April 2004. His first two seasons in charge of the club saw a pair of undistinguished mid-table finishes, but in his third season he led the club to the Conference title, taking them into the Football League for the first time.
