January 3, 2018 - Steve Perryman announced he planned to hang up his boots as Exeter City's director of football.

The 66-year-old former Tottenham Hotspur captain said he would leave in May and end what was a 15-year association with the League Two Grecians.

Perryman joined the club in 2003 when it was in financial difficulties after relegation to the Conference.

He was caretaker manager for two games after Eamonn Dolan's sacking in 2004 and had been beside the then current boss Paul Tisdale since his appointment in 2006.
