David Kerslake was born 19th June, 1966 in Stepney, London. David made his debut for Queens Park Rangers against Newcastle United in April 1985. He was a member of the QPR squad that played under the name of the Rowdies in the "Coca-Cola Classic Soccer International Series" in Tampa in 1986. He went on to play 58 league games for the Rangers, scoring 6 goals. He was then transferred to Swindon Town in November 1989.
David moved on to Leeds United for only 3 months and 8 appearances before Tottenham Hotspur came calling. Spurs paid £450,000 for the player, however he only made 34 appearances in 4 years for them. He was sent on loan to Swindon and Charlton Athletic, before being released to Ipswich Town in 1997. Again he only made a handful of appearances for Ipswich, moving on to Wycombe Wanderers and then finishing his career back at Swindon.
David won 29 England Youth caps, a record at the time and great things were expected of him which perhaps never materialised.
Today, David Kerslake is Assistant First Team Coach at Nottingham Forest.David recently was voted "Worst mullet of the 1980s".
