Paul Longden

David Paul Longden is an English former footballer who played in the Football League for Barnsley and Scunthorpe United. After his release by Barnsley, Longden turned down a move to Australia to join Scunthorpe on a free transfer.
He became a regular for The Iron over the next decade and was voted by supporters as the club's player of the year following the 1989-1990 season. Nicknamed 'Longy' or 'Waxy' by teammates, Longden was awarded a testimonial prior to the start of the 1992-93 season.
Despite being forced to retire after breaking his leg aged just 30, he is second on Scunthorpe's all-time appearance list with 461 games, behind only Jack Brownsword in first place. His only two professional goals both came in penalty shoot-outs.
After retirement, Longden managed the Scunthorpe United club restaurant and 'Iron Bar' alongside coaching in the club's academy, before relocating to North Yorkshire in 2005 to run a post office.
