Left-footed Dover-born player who gained his first taste of senior football when he made a few appearances for Ramsgate during the 1980/81 season.
After several years in local amateur football Micky joined Thanet United for the 1985/86 campaign and became captain of the reserve team under manager Jimmy Ward. On 18.3.86 he made his first team debut when he played on the left wing as United beat Tonbridge 3-1 at Hartsdown Park. Micky kept his place for Thanet's next three matches, turning out at left-back in the third of them - a Southern League game at Hastings on 31.3.86 - and then returned to the reserves. He made one more first team appearance before the end of the season to take his overall tally to five.
Micky stayed at Hartsdown for the 1986/87 campaign and on 22.11.86 he returned to the first team, playing in midfield in a 2-1 win over Waterlooville.

Micky had made a total of six appearances (one as sub) by then and returned to the reserves for the remainder of the season.
He also played for the reserves during the 1987/88 campaign, making six appearances before dropping back into local football.
Micky later became heavily involved with the Thanet Premier Sunday League and was their Registration Secretary for a period in the early 1990's. He worked as a bricklayer at that time.
