Dave Puttnam
David Paul "Dave" Puttnam (born 3 February 1967) is an English former professional association football player. He played for Leicester City, Lincoln City, Swansea City and Gillingham between 1989 and 1998.[1]
He moved on to join Yeovil Town on loan, debuting in the club's 1-0 home Isthmian League victory over Bishop's Stortford on 5 April 1997.[2] He made eight appearances for Yeovil Town as they secured the Isthmian League title. In August 1997 he joined Swansea City[3] where he appeared in all of the club's opening fixtures until an Achilles tendon injury forced him to miss the home game with Torquay United on 5 September 1997.[4] His one-month contract with the club expired after the game and the club's then boss Jan Molby elected not to extend the deal and Puttnam was released.[5]
A wish to play more local football saw Puttnam join Barwell in July 2001.[6] After two seasons with the club he joined Coalville Town for the 2003-04 season. He moved on to join Quorn, debuting in the club's 0-0 home Midland Alliance draw with Boldmere St. Michaels on 20 March 2004.[7] He then spent the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons playing for Ratby Sports.
