Iyseden Christie (born 14 November 1976 in Coventry) is an English former footballer who played for Coventry Sphinx as a striker.
Playing career
[edit]Coventry City
[edit]Born in Coventry, West Midlands, Christie began his career as a trainee at Coventry City in 1995. He made his FA Premier League debut on 23 September 1995, appearing as a second-half substitute for Paul Cook in Coventry's 5–1 defeat away to Blackburn Rovers.[2] He made one further appearance, in the League Cup before joining AFC Bournemouth on loan in November 1996, followed by a loan spell with Mansfield Town from February 1997.
Mansfield Town
[edit]He joined Mansfield Town on a free transfer in August 1997 and made over 90 league and cup appearances for Mansfield in two seasons. He joined Leyton Orient for a fee of £40,000 in July 1999, and made over 60 league and cup appearances for Orient in three seasons, before returning to Mansfield Town in August 2002.[3] He made over 70 appearances in his second spell at Mansfield but was released by the club after defeat in the Third Division play-off Final in May 2004.[4]
In 1997, he scored a four-minute hat-trick against Stockport County in a League Cup first-round tie. This remains the record for the fastest League Cup hat-trick.[citation needed]
Kidderminster Harriers
[edit]Christie signed for Kidderminster Harriers at the start of the 2004–05 season,[5] but injury restricted him to just one start and a handful of substitute appearances that season.[6]
Rochdale
[edit]In January 2006, after having scored 10 goals in 23 league games, he was sold to Rochdale along with teammate Mark Jackson for a joint £35,000 transfer fee.[7] In August 2006, Christie returned to Kidderminster on loan until December.[8]
Kidderminster Harriers
[edit]Following the completion of this loan spell Christie re-signed for Kidderminster on an 18-month contract in January 2007.[9]
Stevenage Borough
[edit]He joined Stevenage Borough when his contract with Kidderminster expired at the end of June 2008.[10] He made just three appearances for Stevenage, before joining fellow Conference National side Kettering Town on loan on 2 September 2008 until 17 January 2009. During this period he scored 6 goals in 15 games, including playing against Premier League side Fulham in the FA Cup.[11] It was believed this loan spell was to be ended early for a loan move to York City to go ahead,[12] but this deal fell through.[13]
Torquay United
[edit]On 31 December 2008 it was announced that Christie was to make his loan deal at Kettering permanent on 1 January 2009, in a five-figure deal.[14] However, on 2 February 2009 he left Stevenage to join Torquay United.[15]
King's Lynn
[edit]He signed for non-League King's Lynn in August 2009 after a short period on trial with Hibernians in Malta, following termination of the loan agreement with Torquay at the end of the 2008–09 season.
A.F.C. Telford United
[edit]On 11 September 2009, Christie signed for Conference North side AFC Telford United, but left after two games.
Farnborough
[edit]He played one game for his local team Coventry Sphinx, before making his debut for Farnborough as an 80th-minute substitute on 21 October.
Tamworth
[edit]On 13 November 2009, it was announced that Christie had joined Conference National side Tamworth on non-contract terms. On the same day he was joined by his former Kidderminster teammate Simon Brown, who joined the club on a one-month loan deal from Wrexham.[16]
Kettering Town
[edit]After playing for Tamworth till the end of the 2009–10 season, he rejoined Kettering Town for their 2010–11 campaign.
Nuneaton Town
[edit]On 30 March 2011, Christie joined promotion chasing Conference North side Nuneaton Town until the end of the season.[17] Christie's first game for the club was a 3–0 away win at Gloucester City. Justin Marsden's goal came from a superb bit of individual guile and skill to beat two defenders by Christie before squaring the ball to Marsden to slot home.[18]
Tamworth
[edit]Following a successful trial, Christie returned to The Lambs.[19]
Halesowen
[edit]In the second qualifying round of the 2014–15 FA Cup on 27 September 2014, Christie scored six times against Ellistown & Ibstock United as Halesowen Town advanced to the third qualifying round of the FA Cup with a 7–1 win.[20]
