Ian Snodin was a creative midfielder, 3 years younger than brother
Glynn, who was sold to Leeds by Billy Bremner when Bremner was in
charge at Doncaster, and it was Bremner who sold him again when he was
in charge at Leeds. Not that Billy had anything against Snodin: he was
a very talented player who played 4 times for the England U-21 side
while he was still at Doncaster. In just 18 months at Elland Road,
Snodin became a key part of the team and was hugely popular, but to
allow him to further his career - and to bank some money - he was
allowed to move to Everton. Switching to right-back, he picked up a
League Champions medal in 1987 and was on the point of breaking into
the full England side when hit by a long-term injury that seriously
restricted his career. He ended up with Doncaster - relegated from the
Football League - and was manager there from 1998-2000, with the odd
and very occasional appearance himself when the need arose, his one
mistake being that he failed to realise that he was their best player
and pick himself more often.
Graham Cant says: Ian Snodin is the best footballer I have ever
seen play live. This was for Doncaster Rovers in the days of the late
great Billy Bremner. Rovers knocked QPR (then top division) out of the
FA Cup and Snodin was superb that day, totally eclipsing the then
England international John Gregory. Surely Ian should have played for
England...sadly injuries took their toll.
Dave Ward says: Snodin but for injuries would have been a regular
England player for years. He had everything a player needed. Pure
class
ian snodin jnrsays: ian snodin is my dad
zoe snodin says: yes i have a comment even though he tells me to
tidy my room all the time im proud of him and couldnt ask for a better
dad!
Chris Marsden says: After Bremner and Batty the best No. 4 Leeds
Utd have ever had. The best passer of a ball I've seen at Elland Road
and a amn nice bloke - enjoyed a pint or two with him at a Worksop
Supporters club 'Player of the Season' night (after he'd moved to
Everton).
Peter Stannard says: Ian Snodin Jnr plays for same junior team as

liam hardy says: i go to school with your son
ian snodin jnr says: Alrite stanard son din't no about this website
