Playing career

Brentford

[edit]

After beginning his career in the youth systems at Queens Park Rangers and West Ham United, Driscoll joined the youth team at Third Division club Brentford in September 1988.^[1] He was a part of the youth team which reached the semi-finals of the 1988–89 FA Youth Cup.^[1] Driscoll made his first team debut in a 4–2 defeat to Bolton Wanderers on 6 May 1989, coming on as a substitute for Andy Feeley.^[2] He remained out of the first team picture until an injury to Eddie May saw Driscoll play the final 12 games of the 1989–90 season on the right wing,^[1] scoring two goals.^[2] Driscoll signed a professional contract at the end of the season, but suffered a serious knee ligament injury during 1990–91 pre-season.^[3] After returning to fitness, he managed just one further appearance before his release by the Bees at the end of the 1991–92 season.^[3] Driscoll made 14 appearances and scored two goals for the club.^[1]

Non-League football

[edit]

After failed trials with league clubs Reading and Torquay United in 1992,^[4] Driscoll went on to enjoy a long career in non-League football, playing in the Isthmian, Southern, Spartan South Midlands and the Hellenic Leagues for Yeading, Chertsey Town, Hayes, Hendon,^[5] Crawley Town,^[6] St Albans City,^[7] Staines Town,^[8] Brook House, Ashford Town (Middlesex), Marlow, Hounslow Borough,^[9] Flackwell Heath,^[10]^[11] Maidenhead United, Burnham and Walton & Hersham. He also briefly played in New Zealand for Papatoetoe.^[4]

Managerial career

Driscoll had his first taste of management as player-assistant manager under former Brentford teammate Chris Sparks at Hellenic League First Division South club Hounslow Borough between May and December 2004.^[12]^[13] Driscoll later had two spells as player-manager at Isthmian League Second Division club Flackwell Heath.^[9]^[14]^[15]

Conditioning coach career

[edit]

Driscoll was appointed by former Brentford teammate Paul Buckle as a performance and fitness coach when Buckle managed Torquay United (2009–2011), Bristol Rovers (2011–2012) and Luton Town (2012–2013).^[16]^[17] In July 2014, Driscoll returned to Staines Town, where he was enlisted by former Brentford teammate Marcus Gayle to condition the players at the Conference South club.^[18]
