David John Coleman[1] (27 March 1942 – 23 September 2016) was an English footballer who played in the Football League as a forward for Colchester United.
Born in Colchester in 1942,[1] Coleman began his career with local clubs Stanway Rovers and Harwich & Parkeston in non-league football before moving into the Football League with hometown club Colchester United.[1]
Coleman made his debut on 18 November 1961 in a Fourth Division away tie at Rochdale, a game which the U's won 1–0.[2] He would only make one more Football League appearance for Colchester,[3] coming the following season on 20 October in a 4–1 defeat away to Wrexham, with Coleman scoring the solitary goal for Colchester.[4]
After leaving Colchester, Coleman joined another local non-league club, Clacton Town.[1]
Coleman died on 23 September 2016 from cancer.[5]
