Former Biggleswade Town captain Steven Gentle has retired from football after 30 years of playing the beautiful game.

He played for Bedford Town twice, Cambridge City, St Ives Town promotion town and Biggleswade Town promotion side as captain before moving to Eynesbury Rovers. The last two seasons he has been with Elstow Abbey FC and this season they won the Bedfordshire County League – also winning the Britannia Cup 2-1, getting the winning goal as a fitting end to his playing days.

But at 40 years old – having started playing with the cubs 30 years ago – he has decided to move to family time.
