An FA Cup winner who was on the end of the biggest of cup shocks.
David Phillips’ childhood was filled with travel, trauma and talent. He was born in Germany to a military family, before moving to Wales, Netherlands and Cornwall where he excelled at all sports.
A talented rugby and cricket player who eventually was persuaded to play football at Home Park, just days after losing his mother.
Phillips was fondly remembered by the Green Army as a scorer of great goals and being part of the FA Cup semi-final side. His association with the FA Cup would continue throughout his career, winning it with Coventry City in 1987 and being dumped out by non-league Sutton United two seasons later.
A player who played at the top and has a career to envy – this is the story of David Phillips.
