Michael 'Mick' Heathcote (born 10 September 1965 in Kelloe) is a former English professional footballer who played as a defender for several clubs, including Sunderland, Cambridge United and Plymouth Argyle.[1]
Playing career
Heathcote started his career at Sunderland in August 1987, which was in the 'Old' Third Division, what is now League One. However, after only four months with the club he went on loan to Halifax Town for a month. In January 1990 he went on loan, again for a month, with York City. He remained at Sunderland for another five months until July 1990, when he signed for Shrewsbury Town for £55,000.
He played 44 matches with Shrewsbury Town, scoring six goals - a respectable record for a central defender. Then, in September 1991 he signed for Division Two side Cambridge United for £150,000. He spent four full seasons there, scoring 13 goals in 128 league appearances. He was then signed by Plymouth Argyle in July 1995 for £75,000. He spent six years at the Westcountry club, scoring 13 goals in 194 league appearances. In 2001 he started a second spell at Shrewsbury Town. He appeared in the famous Jimmy Glass game against Carlisle, in which the goalkeeper scored in the 94th minute to keep Carlisle United in the Football League.[2]
But after leaving the side in 2004 he spent the remainder of his career in the lower leagues of English football. He played for Colwyn Bay, Leek Town and Hucknall Town.
