Dave Hockaday

Hockaday was born in Sedgefield, County Durham. He started his career as a youth player with Billingham Synthonia. In June 1975, aged 17, he joined Blackpool, then playing in the Second Division. He made his first start for the Tangerines on 25 September 1976, in a 1–0 home loss to Chelsea. Aside from a League Cup second-round tie against Sheffield Wednesday, he sat out the entire 1977–78 campaign, but the following season he became a more regular first-team player as Blackpool slid down the leagues. He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 loss at Colchester United on 30 September 1978, and, later that season, scored both goals in Blackpool's 2–1 victory at Lincoln City.

Also on 30 September, this time in 1981, Hockaday was amongst the scorers in Blackpool's 7–1 rout of Halifax Town at Bloomfield Road. In his final season in Lancashire, he made 40 league appearances and scored eight goals, but was unable to prevent Blackpool from finishing fourth from bottom and needing to seek re-election. In his eight seasons at Blackpool he made over 190 first-team appearances, scoring 27 goals.{{cite book | first=Roy | last=Calley| title=Blackpool: A Complete Record 1887–1992 | publisher=Breedon Books Sport | year=1992 | isbn = 1-873626-07-X}}

In June 1983, he moved on a free transfer to fellow Fourth Division side Swindon Town. He was a solid, dependable right-back and was part of the team managed by Lou Macari that gained the Fourth Division championship in the 1985–86 season, following this with promotion to Division Two in 1986–87. In 1988–89 Swindon reached the Second Division play-offs but failed in their attempt to gain promotion to the top flight. In 1989–90 Swindon won the Second Division play-off final but Sunderland were promoted instead after the Swindon board admitted a series of financial irregularities. Swindon were initially demoted to the Third Division and replaced by Tranmere Rovers, the division's losing play-off finalists, but this decision was later reversed on appeal. In September 1990, Hockaday moved to Hull City for a fee of £50,000 having made 308 appearances for Swindon, with 11 goals.{{citation needed|date=March 2017}}

At Hull City he was part of the side which suffered relegation from the Second Division at the end of the 1990–91 season. He played 15 times for Hull the following season and spent the end of the 1992–93 campaign on loan at Stoke City where he played seven times helping the Potters win the Second Division title.{{cite book|last=Lowe|first=Simon|title=Stoke City The Modern Era – A Complete Record|year=2000|publisher=Desert Island Books|isbn=1-874287-39-2}} After a third season at Hull he moved on to Shrewsbury Town. He was a member of the Shrewsbury team who won the Third Division title at the end of his first season, before he dropped out of league football, moving to Cirencester Town in 1995.{{citation needed|date=March 2017}}

In 1996, Hockaday established one of the first football academies in the country at Cirencester,{{Cite web|url=http://www.cirentownfc.com/centurion-football/academy/|title=Cirencester Town Academy}} following the Thorp Arch model that Howard Wilkinson started at Leeds United in 1994.{{Cite web|url=http://www.leeds.gov.uk/docs/thorp%20arch%20parish%20plan%20and%20vds.pdf|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120830202105/http://www.leeds.gov.uk/docs/thorp%20arch%20parish%20plan%20and%20vds.pdf|archive-date = 30 August 2012|title = Error}} The Cirencester Football Academy was created in conjunction with the local Sixth Form College. The academy team soon built up a nationwide reputation by winning the National College Championship. In 2000, he joined Graham Taylor at Watford as the club's Under 18 coach. As Under 18 coach at Watford, Hockaday helped develop the careers of players such as Paul Robinson, Hamer Bouazza, Tommy Smith, Darren Ward, Ashley Young and Alhassan Bangura. In 2005, he was promoted to first-team coach and assisted the Hornets as the club won promotion to the Premier League in 2006.

In January 2007, as Watford struggled to avoid relegation, he was sacked by manager Adrian Boothroyd.{{cite news |last1=Mail |first1=Simon |title=Former Watford coach David Hockaday lands Forest Green job |url=https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/4589677.former-watford-coach-david-hockaday-lands-forest-green-job/ |access-date=2 October 2020 |work=Watford Observer |date=9 September 2009}} In March 2007 he joined Martin Allen at Milton Keynes Dons until the end of the season,{{cite web| date=22 March 2007| title=Hockaday capture delight's Allen| newspaper=Milton Keynes Citizen | url=http://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/sport/hockaday-capture-delight-s-allen-1-858540|access-date=15 June 2014 }} where the team reached the League Two play-offs. In May 2007, Martin Allen moved to Leicester City and on 6 June it was announced that Hockaday would be joining the Leicester City coaching staff.{{cite news | date=6 June 2007 | title= Allen raids MK Dons for key trio| publisher=BBC Sport | url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leicester_city/6728077.stm| access-date=23 June 2007}}

In September 2009 Hockaday became the first team manager at Forest Green Rovers.{{Cite web| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/f/forest_green_rovers/8247103.stm |title=Hockaday given Forest Green job |publisher=BBC Sport |date=9 September 2009}}{{Cite web |url=http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/news/Hockaday-names-Forest-Green-Rovers-manager/article-1324208-detail/article.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130505122502/http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/news/Hockaday-names-Forest-Green-Rovers-manager/article-1324208-detail/article.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=5 May 2013 |title=Hockaday named as Forest Green Rovers manager |publisher=thisisgloucestershire |date=9 September 2009 }} The job was the first time he had been appointed to a managerial position.

His first season as manager ended with relegation from the Conference Premier.{{Cite web| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/8620926.stm |title=Grays Athletic 2–1 Forest Green Rovers |publisher=BBC Sport |date=24 April 2010}} However, Forest Green were reinstated following Salisbury City's failure in their appeal against demotion from the Conference for financial irregularities. Despite the team finishing in a relegation position and coming under fire from a number of the club's fans, Hockaday was offered a new one-year contract for the 2010–11 season.{{Cite web |url=http://www.gloucestercitizen.co.uk/Hockaday-pens-new-deal-Forest-Green-boss/story-11865282-detail/story.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20140615233213/http://www.gloucestercitizen.co.uk/Hockaday-pens-new-deal-Forest-Green-boss/story-11865282-detail/story.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=15 June 2014 |title=Dave Hockaday pens new deal at Nailsworth as Forest Green boss |publisher=Gloucester Citizen |date=19 May 2010 }} In his second season as Forest Green boss the team narrowly avoided relegation to the Conference South the team lost their final day fixture, a 2–1 loss away at Tamworth, but stayed in the league on goal difference.{{Cite web| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/9465795.stm |title=Tamworth 2–1 Forest Green Rovers |publisher=BBC Sport |date=30 April 2011 |access-date=30 April 2011}}

In his third season as Forest Green manager the club finished the season in 10th place. Hockaday's fourth season as manager of the club again ended with another 10th-place finish in the Conference Premier despite reportedly having the largest transfer and wage budget in the division.{{Cite web |url=http://www.thesecretfootballer.com/articles/the-secret-non-league/13923/hockaday-pays-the-price-for-forest-failure/ |title=Hockaday pays the price for Forest failure |publisher=www.thesecretfootballer.com |date=23 October 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140621020751/http://www.thesecretfootballer.com/articles/the-secret-non-league/13923/hockaday-pays-the-price-for-forest-failure/ |archive-date=21 June 2014 |df=dmy-all }} In February 2013, Hockaday dismissed rumours linking him with the vacant managerial post at former club Swindon Town after the departure of Paolo Di Canio.{{Cite web| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21519772 |title=Forest Green: Dave Hockaday not interested in Swindon Town job |publisher=BBC Sport |date=20 February 2013}}

After a disappointing start to the 2013–14 season, and after a run which saw Forest Green suffer seven defeats in eight games, Hockaday left the club by mutual consent on 21 October 2013.{{Cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24611271 |title=Dave Hockaday leaves Forest Green Rovers by mutual consent |publisher=BBC Sport |date=21 October 2013 |access-date=21 October 2013}}

On 19 June 2014, Hockaday was appointed as head coach of Leeds United on a two-year contract. Junior Lewis was hired as Hockaday's assistant. The appointment was both a surprise and a great disappointment to a large majority of Leeds United fans. Hockaday was widely ridiculed on social media and became known as "The Hock", partly due to the pronouncements of a fake Twitter account set up in his name.{{cite web|title=David Hockaday named as new head coach…|date=19 June 2014|url=http://www.leedsunited.com/news/article/1hylw6lsjl1yn14n6t68sfo7nc/title/united-appoint-new-head-coach|publisher=Leeds United A.F.C|access-date=19 June 2014}}{{Cite news |url=http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/latest-whites-news/leeds-united-i-can-be-a-success-hockaday-1-6684980 |title=Leeds United: I can be a success – Hockaday |newspaper=Yorkshire Evening Post |date=20 June 2014 |access-date=20 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150206140409/http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/latest-whites-news/leeds-united-i-can-be-a-success-hockaday-1-6684980 |archive-date=6 February 2015 |url-status=dead }}{{Cite news| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27924115 |title=Leeds United name Dave Hockaday as head coach |publisher=BBC Sport |date=19 June 2014 |access-date=20 June 2014}} His annual salary was reported as being about £90,000, compared to the £750,000 paid to his predecessor Brian McDermott.{{cite web |last1=Katwala |first1=Amit |title=Wait, what? 9 times clubs made bizarre managerial appointments |url=https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/wait-what-eight-times-clubs-made-bizarre-managerial-appointments-0 |website=FourFourTwo |access-date=2 October 2020 |date=18 April 2018}}

Hockaday took his team to Italy for a two-week training camp, and his first pre-season game as head coach resulted in a 16–0 victory against Italian amateur minnows FC Gherdeina. After the sixteenth goal had been scored, United's new goalkeeper Marco Silvestri was allowed to switch sides and play for the amateur team until the end of the game.{{Cite news| title = Leeds United hammer Italian minnows FC Gherdeina 16–0| url = http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/latest-whites-news/leeds-united-hammer-italian-minnows-fc-gherdeina-16-0-1-6723461| work =Yorkshire Evening Post| date = 11 July 2014| access-date = 11 July 2014}} A second match in Italy was planned but failed to take place because the opposition did not show up. After returning to England, Leeds played several friendlies against lower league opposition, starting with a 2–0 win over local side Guiseley (who play in the sixth tier of English football) on 19 July, with goals coming from Matt Smith and Jason Pearce.{{Cite web |url=http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/latest-whites-news/match-report-guiseley-0-leeds-united-2-1-6739172 |title=Match report: Guiseley 0 Leeds United 2 - Yorkshire Evening Post |access-date=20 July 2014 |archive-date=22 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140722085536/http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/latest-whites-news/match-report-guiseley-0-leeds-united-2-1-6739172 |url-status=dead }} The final game of pre-season resulted in a creditable win over Scottish Premiership side Dundee United at Elland Road. Hockaday referred to his team as a "work in progress", praised his players for "putting a shift in" and said that they were improving with every game.

However, Leeds lost their first game of the new season 2–0, away at Millwall on 9 August.{{cite news|title=Millwall v Leeds|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28646426|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=9 August 2014}} Hockaday's first and only league victory was against Middlesbrough at Elland Road on 16 August, with new striker Billy Sharp scoring a late winner on his debut.{{cite web|title=Leeds 1 Middlesbrough 0|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28716615|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=16 August 2014|date=16 August 2014}}{{cite web|title=Debutant Sharp blunts Boro|date=16 August 2014|url=http://www.leedsunited.com/news/article/5q0uro0bzx4a1ry3sxp6c1hkz/title/debutant-sharp-blunts-boro|publisher=Leeds United|access-date=16 August 2014}}

Two more defeats followed, 2–0 against Brighton and 4–1 against Watford – a game which Leeds finished with nine men.{{cite news|title=TWO OFF IN WATFORD DEFEAT|date=23 August 2014|access-date=23 August 2014|url=http://www.leedsunited.com/news/article/sojpa30okel317a4kki4xhnbg/title/two-off-in-watford-defeat|publisher=Leeds United}} After the Watford game, Leeds United's owner Massimo Cellino was reported to have made up his mind to sack Hockaday, but then had a change of heart, deciding to blame himself for the club's poor start to the season.{{cite news|title=Leeds: Massimo Cellino changed mind over sacking Dave Hockaday|date=24 August 2014|access-date=24 August 2014|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28915869|publisher=BBC Sport}} But Hockaday's reprieve did not last long. On 27 August 2014, Leeds were knocked out of the League Cup by League One side Bradford City. Leeds had to play most of the game with ten men after a red card was shown to Luke Murphy, who became the fourth Leeds player to be sent off in Hockaday's first six games in charge (the others being Gaetano Berardi in the previous round of the Cup against Accrington Stanley, and Giuseppe Bellusci and Sam Byram against Watford).{{cite web |url=http://www.leedsunited.com/news/article/l714z6b4nkf1fsiiddhnaidz/title/united-edged-out-at-bradford|title=United edged out at Bradford|publisher=Leeds United|date=26 August 2014 |access-date=26 August 2014}}

Following his temporary role with Swindon Supermarine, Football League One side Coventry City announced on 2 February 2015 that Hockaday had been appointed professional development coach for the rest of the 2014–15 season. Manager Steven Pressley said that Hockaday would be working with the first team in addition to his duties coaching the Under-21s.{{cite news|url=http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/latest-whites-news/leeds-united-former-head-coach-hockaday-joins-coventry-city-1-7084046|date=2 February 2015|access-date=3 February 2015|work=Yorkshire Evening Post|title=Leeds United: Former head coach Hockaday joins Coventry City}}
