Philip John Basey (born 27 August 1948) is a Welsh retired professional footballer who played as a left winger in the Football League for Brentford. After his release in 1967, he played for over a decade in non-League football and notably scored over 100 career goals for Southern League club Crawley Town.
Basey began his career in the youth team at Fourth Division club Brentford,[1] after writing to the club requesting a trial.[2] He progressed to sign a professional contract in July 1966.[3] At age 18, he made his professional debut in a league match versus Tranmere Rovers on 24 September 1966 and played the full 90 minutes of the 1–1 draw.[4] His second and final appearance for the club came three days later, in a 2–2 draw with Lincoln City. After his release at the end of the 1966–67 season, Basey dropped into non-League football and played for Gloucester City,[5] Crawley Town,[6] Maidstone United,[7] Hillingdon Borough, Tooting & Mitcham United and Bromley.[8]
