Biography

Scott Laird arrived at Stevenage in 2007 as a cheeky youngster, and left as a seasoned pro capable of playing in the higher reaches of the Football League.

His early career was spent at Plymouth Argyle, from where he joined Boro on loan in December 2007. Laird impressed enough that Peter Taylor opted to sign him permanently in February - a move from which the left back would never look back.

Also capable of playing in left midfield, Laird became an integral part of the Day-Henry-Ashton-Roberts-Laird defence that saw Stevenage rise from the Conference to the League One play-offs.

He chipped in with crucial goals too, scoring a vital late winner at Kenilworth Road (immortalised in his song from the East Terrace) and finishing the 2011-12 season as the club's top scorer in the league.

While new manager Gary Smith sought to retain his services, Laird opted instead to re-join Graham Westley at Preston North End. Westley's time at the club was short, but Laird proved a success, playing for them until 2015, and continuing his goals habit - popping up against Manchester United to take Preston into the lead.

Spells at Scunthorpe, Forest Green and Walsall followed before Laird returned to non-league football in 2019 with Weston-super-Mare as player-assistant manager.

In 2023, he became a coach at Millfield School, and began playing in non-league again with Gloucester City in March 2024.
