Timeline
Mark Stuart Grew (born 15 February 1958) is an English former football player and coach who played as a goalkeeper.
His career started in 1976 with West Bromwich Albion, where he spent seven seasons as a back-up keeper before moving on to Leicester City.
After just a year with the "Foxes" he moved on to Ipswich Town.
He turned professional at First Division club West Bromwich Albion in the 1976–77 season, having just starred in the 1976 FA Youth Cup final, which ended in a 5–0 aggregate victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
During the 1978–79 campaigned he was loaned out to Fourth Division newcomers Wigan Athletic, where he played four league games in the absence of John Brown.
He returned to The Hawthorns, and played 33 league games for the "Baggies" as he faced competition from Tony Godden, before he joined Leicester City, also of the First Division, for a £60,000 fee.
He also played five Second Division games on loan at Oldham Athletic, before he moved to First Division club Ipswich Town on a £60,000 transfer in March 1984.
He spent two seasons with the "Tractor Boys", but played just six league games.
He also played four Second Division games on loan at Fulham in 1985, and returned to West Brom on loan in 1986 to play one game.
In 1986, he signed for Port Vale, where he became the first-choice goalkeeper.
In June 1986, he joined Third Division Port Vale; aged 28 years old, he was looking for first team football.
His debut for the club came in a 2–2 draw against Middlesbrough at Victoria Park, who were at the time close to folding.
After he sustained an injury in the game, he suffered from damaged knee ligaments for much of the 1986–87 season.
However, Alex Williams retired from back injury in September 1987.
As Grew took the #1 jersey he never looked back and played fifty games in 1987–88.
Grew was then voted the club's Player of the Year for his performances over his 49 games in 1988–89.
He played both legs of Vale's play-off final victory over Bristol Rovers, conceding just the one goal.
He spent six years at Vale Park, making almost 200 the Football League appearances, twice winning the club's Player of the Year award and playing in the 1989 Third Division play-off victory.
He played 51 games in 1989–90, as Vale retained their Second Division status.
However, he lost his place to Trevor Wood in August 1990.
In October, he went on to enjoy a successful two-month loan spell with league rivals Blackburn Rovers, who had Terry Gennoe injured and Darren Collier out of form, playing thirteen league games.
He won his first team spot back at Vale in February 1991, and played fourteen games for the "Valiants" in 1990–91.
He transferred to Cardiff City in 1992, and won the Third Division title with the club in 1992–93, and also picked up two Welsh Cup winners medals.
He became the club's Player of the Year once more in 1992 for his ever-presence in the 53 game 1991–92 season.
However, he left on a free transfer for Cardiff City in May 1992.
His final club was Hednesford Town, whom he signed for in 1994, and left in 1995.
Over the years he also enjoyed short loan spells with Wigan Athletic, Oldham Athletic, Fulham, and Blackburn Rovers.
He was between the posts for Cardiff City when they beat Manchester City 1–0 in the FA Cup Fourth round on 29 January 1994.
He became an "instant hero" with the Cardiff supporters after saving a penalty from Keith Curle.
He joined non-League side Hednesford Town in 1994 after leaving Cardiff and made one appearance during the 1994–95 season.
He was a shot-stopping goalkeeper, who mostly remained on his line and relied on his defenders to deal with crosses.
"'A fine keeper who also brought professionalism and experience from his time at Ipswich and West Bromwich Albion. I'm not sure who gave him the title, but he quickly became John Rudge's voice of reason in the dressing room. Never short of something to say, he changed the whole culture of the club.'"
Grew was appointed the Port Vale youth team coach in December 1994 and stayed with the club for the next eight years.
He was appointed assistant manager under Brian Horton in 1999, until he was sacked in December 2002 by the club's administrators.
He remained in the game after retirement as a player, spending eight years as a coach at Port Vale before his sacking in 2002.
He quickly returned to his coaching position at the club though, and remains a key member of the backroom staff.
He has had three separate spells as caretaker manager at the club.
Grew grew up in Bilston, where he attended the goalkeeping academy ran by legendary Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Bert Williams after accepting that he "was probably too fat and lazy to play outfield".
In March 2003 he was appointed as assistant manager at Stafford Rangers, until he returned to Port Vale in a coaching capacity for the youth team, after the club was taken over by Valiant 2001.
